Abandonware DOS title

Arrakis

No relation to Dune (except for being a total rip-off), Arrakis is a homebrew strategy game that feels like a tribute to the sandiest planet in sci-fi. You mine spice, fight vaguely Harkonnen-looking enemies, and try not to crash your economy before the giant worms show up. The graphics scream “freeware with ambition,” and the gameplay... well, let’s say it’s passionate. But if you squint hard and love micromanaging tiny troops, there’s something oddly compelling here. It’s like finding a lost cassette of someone’s garage-made RTS — unpolished, but heartfelt.
