The reviews must flow! And the spicy subject matter this time around is DUNE! The first computer game adaptation, made by Cryo Interactive and Virgin Games in 1992. I've long used this as a sound card benchmark/demonstration, but it is so much more than that.

Yeah I've been extremely stoked for Dune Part Two hitting theaters this month (which I saw over the weekend and holy balls was it fantastic) so I figured it was an ideal time for a retrospective on the classic DOS PC game. Perhaps not as ideal as covering it a few years ago with the release of Part One, but back then I wasn't really sure if it'd be worth spending my time covering it since game reviews were performing relatively badly on YouTube. That's seemingly changed in recent months, so let's see how this goes over with the algorithm.

That's all for this one, I hope you enjoy! All Patrons on $5+ tiers can expect the February LGR Wrap Up video pretty soon, and I'll be back with another LGR Thing sometime next week if all goes well. Thank you for your ongoing support and stay well!
