I played this game on the Sega Mega Drive and on the Sega CD. Even though I was a little boy and it was hard for me to understand all the things, I enjoyed playing. The screen was small, but it was fully 3D. When I realized that you could rotate the camera, it blew my mind. In my opinion, one of the best games of Bullfrog Productions. Thanks to Peter Molyneux and his team, for a wonderful time. I hope GOG will give us the opportunity to play PowerMonger again. If I understand correctly, if the game appears here, it will be a DOS version. Just DOS version is 1992,1993,1996 yrs (info from mobygames). And here's the Sega CD version its 1994y. Hope the DOS version is not worse than the SEGA CD. Although the interface is visually different, the game itself may be the same. Peter Molyneux, thank you again !

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty
Dune II: The Building of a DynastyDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed. The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.

Dune
DuneDune is a 1992 video game, based upon Frank Herbert's science fiction novel of the same name. Developed by Cryo Interactive, is the first of the Dune computer games. Dune blended adventure with economic and military strategy, and is considered by many the most immersive Dune computer game. Loosely following the story of the novel, the game casts the player as Paul Atreides, with the ultimate goal of driving the Harkonnen from Planet Dune, while managing spice extraction, military, and later, ecology through the native Fremen tribes. As the player progresses, his troops are equipped with weapons from "crysknives" to atomics, tap into Paul's latent psychic powers, and get acquainted with such characters from the book as Chani and Liet-Kynes.
