| Game | Notes | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Dune | The game casts the player as Paul Atreides, with the goal of driving the Harkonnens out of spice management. | ||
| Dune II | If you choose the Atreides campaign, you can build a unique tank called the Sonic Tank. The Fremen are special units invoked from the Atreides Palace, uncontrollable but summonable by the player. House Atreides' color is blue in this game, green being taken by House Ordos. | ||
| Dune 2000 | Like Dune II as before, but the Fremen are controllable. | ||
| Emperor: Battle for Dune | The alliance between the Atreides and the Fremen is dissolved, but can still be forged. Atreides are still blue. | ||
| Frank Herbert's Dune | Cast as Paul Atreides, the player must win the trust of the Fremen on Arrakis and defeat Baron Harkonnen. | ||

Famous quotes containing the word games:
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
