The fact they didn't bother with a patch version might be an indication that the CD installer might not work anymore either.Īs for Dune II. the game isn't easy to find at all. I don't know the specifics for Dune 2000 it's been ages since I installed it, but as far as I know, the game's what they call "true abandonware" no longer supported, sold or cared about by the company owning the copyright. So, yeah. C&C95, for example, is a 32-bit game (which runs fine on 64-bit machines) with a 16-bit CD installer (which doesn't even start on a 64-bit machine), so without some really specific tools to extract the installer archives, you won't even get to the game files. I kind of helped create buying the discs might get you karma points, but more often than not, especially on Win95 games, it won't get you a running game. I hang around in the CnCNet online lobby (well, the C&C1/RA1/D2K one) all the time.
So, yeah, multiplayer is all taken care of.
all C&C games, and Dune 2000, can still be played online the older ones on CnCNet, the newer ones (Generals and later) on C&C:Online So if I want to play C&C online, I assume the First Decade servers are long dead. As for Gruntmod's Dune 2000 installer, haven't tried it, but I assume it's just simply Install & Play. Well, Dune Dynasty is a little bit of work to set up, but I linked to a complete guide for that ( This is the original game files pack you need to get it running, btw). So I'm better off just downloading it from one of your links? I hope they're easy to use. It's a work of mercy, really, saving these games from Death by Obscurity. Honestly, offering working downloads for these games has become more akin to archaeology than to piracy.
I guess that clearly the distributors are aware of the fan-communities and stuff though, with how long they've been going on.
