Something that just came to mind when i was thinking on fav games and seing alot of Dune II fans out there is alittle handy little thing on Aminet that allows ya to  select one of the "66" level files from the game, yep 66, we prolly only see 10 going threw the races.

DuneII level selecter

Why did I write this program? I was looking at the DuneII files to see if I could make a level editor. I couldn't, but I noticed that there were 66
level files! I'd only ever played 9. So I wrote this level selecter so you
could play any of them. The method I've used is a bit cheesy and only
slightly better than doing it by hand.

You have to load up one of my saved games from the final level and select
restart. By doing this, it reloads the final level of Harkonnen. The level
selecter simply renames the old final level and renames one of the other 65
levels to it's filename. Then it renames everything back to it's original
names when you quit from the game (or run the level selecter again if DuneII
crashes). Oh, and it deletes my saved game, if you haven't wiped over it
with a new name.


Never tried this thing but sounds like something usefull to tinker with, one of those things that could have been easily forgotton about.

Have fun!   :-)

Has none of you ever tried Wings???


I played that game to death many years ago, beat it countless times but always fun to go back to.

Since Cinemaware seem to be digitaly remastering some of there old classics "Defender Of The Crown" and "3 Stooges" maybe Wings will get a new vamped up version to (i hope)
DOFC has just recently been released i believe and was done by Clickboom.

By the way - the comment about Wings being remastered - this is correct but it is being remastered for PC and MAC only :(


Yeah true, but who knows what the future may hold   ;-)
