Go ahead and play it, Bolivar. It's easy to emulate, and still a decent experience. It's got some technical flaws and issues, but it's still a fun game.

I'd like to point out that this game had a console version as well, and it's kind of fascinating how this remains one of the best console RTS games ever. The controls still aren't optimized for an RTS, but this game does the best it can, and was clearly designed with the limitations in mind (or just working in an entirely new field, as one of the first RTS games period). With a relatively low unit count and slow time system, it lets you use the clunky controls better than almost any RTS since. You have time to react, plan, build up, and even micro effectively if you want to, which is pretty much unheard of in a console RTS game. The PC version is still definitely better, but the console one is worth playing, in my opinion, just to see how well it functions compared to most of those that came sense.

Also, the new house, House Ordos, has some pretty awesome stuff, and is a well plotted out addition to the lore. Though I don't really follow the lore. Sorry, not that much of a Dune fan, I just like the games.
