Awesome / Dune II

• The intro. For a game made in 1992, it's still quite impressive.
• The Harkonnen Death Hand missile - incredibly inaccurate (often leading to players having to do a Save Scum in order to hit the right target), but far more destructive than any other weapon in the game.
• The Ordos Deviator - while the effect doesn't last long, it's always fun to turn your enemy's troops against their own, particularly against the Harkonnen's Devastator tank or deviating an enemy's Harvester.
• The Sardaukar troops' armor.◊ In contrast to the black-painted hazmat suits of the 1984 film, these Sardaukars look like they could kick your ass all the way back to Kaitain.
• The Harkonnen ending, where they blow away the emperor and his advisor.
  Mentat: A crime for which you will indeed pay dearly...with your life!
• When you are finally able to upgrade to rocket launchers and siege tanks. They also make killing that damn Sand Worm a lot easier.
