Dune games

Ok, so beyond the adventure/strategy Dune game, there are the Dune RTS games:

• Dune 2. Released under two different subtitles, "The battle for arrakis" and "The building of a dynasty". Not sure if any differences between the two. Basically, with Warcraft, created the RTS genre. Cumbersome interface, good gameplay. The classic.
• Super Dune 2. Modification for the previous, allowing you to play the Fremen, the Sardaukar and the "mercenaries".
• Arrakis. Remake of Dune 2, using C&C's excellent interface, and voices... Appalling graphics.
• Dune 2000. Remake of Dune 2, using modern interface. Unconvincing storyline added, not really interesting, though, worth mentioning, the appearance of John Rhys-Davies as one of the actors
• Emperor: Battle for Dune. Westwood's first try in 3D RTS, after the technical regression of Red Alert 2. Gameplay and storyline quite bad.
