Top is the Sega Mega Drive boxart for Dune II: The Battle for Arrakis
Bottom is a PC screencap of Dune II, sometimes called Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty.
There was little difference between the PC and Sega port. And it was awesome.

Dusted off the CD and played some Dune 2000 at a LAN Party earlier this year… such a great game. Dune 2000 was very similar to Dune 2, but with multiplayer.

I’ve played Dune 2000, it was pretty much updated with all the stuff they learned from C&C and Red Alert, right?
I didn’t get to enjoy Dune 2 during its initial release, but I played the shit out of it when I figured out what an emulator was.
Also, it should be mentioned that this RTS played just fine on a console. Just fine.

Am I right in thinking this was the first RTS?
I played it a lot with some friends around 95 or so, on an, already then, ancient 286. Great game, though I am happy that the controls having changed in newer RTSs. Being able to only select one unit at a time does set some limits

It was indeed the first straight up RTS. There some precursors that had some similar features, but this was the first true RTS.

The Sega Genesis “Herzog Zwei” (1989)was a concept start, but like RSIxidor said, Dune II was the first true one.
