@CaptainCommodore @8BitRetroReFix @JosipRetroBits @8bitmanshed @8bitsinthebasementIs an AGA Amiga Remaster of Dune 2 on the Horizon? Lets take a lookRetro4u2024-06-29 | Welcome to my latest video where I dive into the exciting possibility of an AGA remaster of the classic game Dune 2! In this video, we explore the potential for a modernized version of this iconic strategy game,
Quote from the dev on his patreon
The soundtrack had a limited presence, and there was no AGA-specific version. Even the Amiga gameplay was slightly diminished due to limited resources available to the game. My goal is to remake Dune 2 for the Amiga from scratch the way it was meant to be released and to right all of those wrongs — and more; there was no native PAL support, for example".
