+opendune (realtime strategy game)
+
+OpenDUNE is an open source re-creation of the popular game "Dune
+II", originally made by Westwood Studios, and released by Virgin
+Entertainment. It attempts to re-create the original game and apply modern
+technology to it to allow it to be run natively on most operating systems.
+
+To play the game, you'll need the *.PAK files from the original game.
+All three existing versions of the Dune 2 1.07 data files (eu, hs
+and us) will work, but the French language will only work with the
+eu/hs data files, and the German language will only work with the eu
+data files. Copy or symlink the .PAK files from the original game to
+"/usr/share/games/opendune/data". The filenames can be uppercase or
+lowercase.
+
+Optional dependencies:
+
+If SDL2 and SDL2_image are installed, opendune will use them rather than
+SDL 1. To avoid this (to always build with SDL 1), set SDL2=no in the
+script's environment.
+
+To hear the in-game music, install TiMidity++ and eawpats.
