Yes, there's a cracked version of Dune 2. Thank god it's not the updated version though.
If you choose to steal the game you get a bugged Dune 2. Tiresome to play. Can't do everything.
If you choose to buy it you get a game that is updated (or possible to update, the patch
checks if you've got a cracked copy or not! Smart!).
You just have to choose.
I bought it.
You should too. But it's old by now so you should find a used copy.

But someone asking for a crack does not mean that they pirated the software.
Many legitmate owners want to remove the idotic protection systems from
their software.
I have paid for ALL my games and have cracks for every one with an idotic
password system. I also know many others who have done the same.
I suggest the original poster check out ftp.wustl.edu and ftp.uwp.edu
one has a directory called romulus with tons of cracks for older games.
Also do a gopher search for a program called Neverlock the file
should be nvl950f.zip. It may also contain the crack for Dune II.
The program is the demo version with many older games and the
complete product may be ordered directly from the company or ordered
through several retail software stores.
Yes, there are several shareware and comercial crack programs that
are produced to remove copy protection for legit owners who do
find the protection a hassel.
If you own a legal copy of Dune II good luck on your quest and yes
there is a crack for the finial updated version and I have used
it to remove the protection. ( I am not at home right now or I
would give you the proper file name for it.)
If you are pirating the game please stop and buy a copy and support
the people who produce these wonderful games.
As to the rest of you "Detectives" keep putting in those little codes
if it gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling, but don't go around puking
garbage about people being pirates unless you have more proof than
them asking for a crack. Not every legal owner wants to play that game
with the manual and third word bunk.

Not to express support or condemnations for piracy, but don't you
people ever get tired of responding with smug, PC, repetitive and
irritating answers to these questions?

What is worse is that they are ignorant enough to conclude that
someone asking for a crack is always a pirate. Legit owners
use cracks too! Of course don't confuse the issue with truth
that they have no real proof that the person is a pirate,
since preaching from the electronic pulpit does not require
logic, common sense, or reasoning, just a giant ego
and the wonderful charecteristics you listed above.
Here are a few key phrases, so if you are going to flame people
at least it is more likely be a pirate:
1. "I pirated this software"
2. "I got a copy from a friend"
3. "What are all the keyboard commands for this game"
The following Does NOT indicate a pirate:
1. "My First disk got destroyed could someone send me a copy"
2. "My Manual got ate by the dog could someone send me a copy"
3. "I need a crack for this game"
None of these indicate by themselves a game is pirated.
I hope this makes it CLEAR for you newbie nerds.

Where the f..k do you need the manual for? Those questions so so damn easy!
BTW there is a password-crack available (i think at egr.msu.edu, it is
also included in the trainer trdune2.zip). DON'T use it if you haven't
upgraded yet, cause the patch will need the original files.

My experience: to avoid such kind of response is to find it
yourself quietly. No matter you had bought the game or not, there
are always people who thinks "ask for crack = pirating".
First thing you should try is those famous FTP sites. I think
"uwp" is the best. If you really can't find it, then post the
request.
I do know "uwp" has the crack for DUNE 2 ( as matter of fact, mine
is from this place ). You just need to search it more carefully
before you feel hopeless.
One more hint: updated version still has crack. ( Which most
people don't realize it. )

The point here is that legal owners of games do lose and have
mishaps with both the manuals and the software. Many are ignorant
and do not know that it is illegal for people to send them copies
and replacements without permission of the game company.
They are not pirates just ignorant of the proper method to deal
with their loss.
But don't let something like logic or reasoning get in the way of
those snide remarks.
Why waste time flaming people who could have reasons to make those
posts other than being a pirate when there are tons of post across
the net that blantly say in plain english that the person pirated
the software and want help with their ill gotten gains.
Gee Whiz the way some of you jump down these peoples throats you must
call the cops everytime someone buys bolt cutters down at the hardware
store since the purchase of them must mean they are cutting padlocks
and stealing from everyone.
Sherlock Holmes..... NOT!

I'm not sure if this is true of others, but I would like to see cracks
for games because the protection is just such a nuisance. Why should
I spend time searching through a manual for copy protection? The
prevention of piracy should be the responsibility of the games
producers, it should not be left to the consumers. I'm sure that with
all the money in the PC games market, manufacturers could find a
better way of protecting games than manual lookups( anyone heard of a
photocopier?). Until that time, I will continue to encourage cracks.
