Yeah, but it's not dune2.

I didn't realize there were so many of these now.

Dune IV says it will work in Windows 98.

Kernelex seems to screw up my win98 install every time I attempt to use it, on any build.
I tried "Dune IV". It's more of a mod then a port.

Dune2 is the first RTS I ever played. I was 9 or 10 when I first saw the game, and it blew my mind. I didn't mind the lack of multiple unit selection back then, but I kind of want it now. Other then that, the original Dune 2 has issues running on faster machines. I experience random lockups on anything faster then a 133MHz 486, and even on that, the game freezes the machine upon closing or after loading some savegames (at random). I remember it did this on my first PC as well.
The most practical thing to do would be to compile Legacy dune or Open Dune for win98, but I have no idea how to do that. The source for both games is available on their respective websites, but I don't have any experience with this sort of thing.
