Hah. This takes me back. Classic doesn't quite cover it.

I will say it's nice not having to click and Move on the sidebar manually each time you want to move a unit.

I do seem to remember each unit made a sound when you click them like "reporting" and when you move them "acknowledged"? Which again was incredibly repetitious but also quite characterful!

"Frigate has arrived" is permanently burned into my brain.

I've never met anyone in real life that has the same nostalgia for this game as I do, it's nice to see that HN has my back.

The Dune2 soundtrack is forever engraved in my brain. I found a GPLv2 program to play the original files:

https://github.com/adplug/adplay-unix/

The music is in the .adl files and the normal/peaceful music are all on subsong 6 (e.g. adplay -s 6)

I didn't remember you can actually build a structure without putting it on concrete slabs.

Anyways, It's a marvellous work of love.

I think it was possible, but it degraded much more quickly, requiring more frequent repairs.
