  Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty — StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki
Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (also known as Dune II: Battle for Arrakis in Europe and Dune: The Battle for Arrakis in the Sega Genesis port) is the second game in the Dune series, released in 1992 by Westwood Studios.
Dune II did not have unit grouping or context sensitive cursors, as they were not used in RTS games until CandC and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, and, unlike later games, clicking on a piece of land or enemy will not result in movement or attack actions.
Dune II was given several direct sequels: a Windows 9x remake of this game was published in 1998 as Dune 2000, along with a PlayStation port in the same year.
