Emperor: Battle for Dune
webword writes "Westwood Studios has announced that Emperor: Battle for Dune has gone gold and will ship June 12 in North America. The game looks great. Get the screenshots, original music tracks, movies (MPG format), and desktop theme. I'm not a Dune fanatic, but I have to say that this game looks damn good. (I couldn't find any news on a Linux port. Argh!)" -
Westwood Linux Petition for C&C II
dr bacardi writes "A link is up on the Linux Games page that is a request for mail-in petitions to get Command & Conquer II: Tiberian Sun ported over to Linux.

Westwood Games for Linux
JEDIDIAH writes " Does anyone want Westwood games on Linux? I dunno about the rest of you but, I sure do. I happen to rather like our games; that's why I work here. I just don't want to have to run 'that other operating system' to do it. So, as the resident Linux Zealot, I'm always trying to figure out just how I can get the rest of them (Westwood) to come around to my point of view... '-) Ideally, I would like to be able to walk over to Brett's office (Brett's our CEO) with a sufficiently large & verifiable list Linux users that are ready willing and able to buy his games such that he would have cause to pay some serious attention to us as a market. To that end I have posted a short, unofficial Westwood Games marketing survey This system is on a cable modem so please be patient if it falls under the slashdot effect. I only have a 64K outbound connection. Also, please do not indulge in forms of 'ballot box stuffing'. I need this information to be as accurate as possible. "As many people can tell you, I love games. Stuff like this will get even more people involved, so go and register. Besides, Dune 2 is still one of the best games ever made.
