Ooh, lots of good points there. And yes, I forgot how cool yet simple the Gulf War-esque battle scenes were.
And the weird shape that appeared in the corner... until it moved and I realized it was Atreides and Harkonnen arms armwrestling to show who was winning.

I always assumed you were having fun with Harah off camera. To add to this effect, whenever going into the bedroom with her I'd turn down the PC speakers and jack up the 70's funk on my stereo.
She was kinda funny looking, though. And not in a good way.
And think - there's that whole sequence where Paul and Chani walk out into the desert away from the sietch and consumate each other's brains out. No doubt putting his crysknife in her water-ring.

Yeah, why did Duncan get saddled with that job? I wonder if there was a bureaucratic mix-up somewhere and Duke Leto's favourite accountant is shitting himself in a commando raid on Giedi Prime?
"They've got us pinned down!"
"Yes, and we only have 374 bullets left!"

"Go find Gurney! And see what's keeping him..."
That line ("Go there now, and see what's keeping Gurney.") has stuck in my mind due to its awkward delivery. Not to mention the game's desperate attempt to build some tension early on when Jessica says 'Hurry my son... I sense danger." Yes, hurry! Gurney's standing with his hands on his belt and with his legs crossed in that funny way. The Fremen will think he's... you know... THAT way.

Naturally first thing I did when getting into my orni was flying North to see what happened. Uh-oh!
Oh christ. That absolutely hideous decomposition scene, followed by the hideous voice of Feyd-Rautha (who I'm convinced was the same actor as the hideous voice of Maniac in the Wing Commander port for the Sega CD). I really could do without watching Paul turn slowly into dust, thanks.
