Emperor: Battle for Dune was also fun.
Edit: And now that I think about it, Dune 2000 is a the remake, of Dune 2, specifically.
Man, Dune 2 was so innovative at the time. And I didn't appreciate it enough (I was pretty young). I actually liked Dune 1 better at the time.
It's also weird to me that you can draw a (almost) direct line from Dune 2 to World of Warcraft.
Dune 2 is generally considered the first RTS game.
Dune 2 is the Doom of RTS, not the "actual first", but definitely the one that pretty much defined the genre as a whole
