Unused Texts

Entering the House Harkonnen ends the game. There are three characters present: the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, Feyd-Rautha and Emperor Shaddam IV. Under normal circumstances, it's not possible to directly speak with them; however, there is a way around this via a bug or a hex editor. If the House Harkonnen is changed to Sietch or any other place, it is now possible to speak with the three characters as enemies to prevent activating the final scene as normal. It is impossible to ask any of them to follow you.

Undocumented Demo Recording Function

Running duneprg.exe with the command line argument REC allows the player to record their actions in the game. Running the same executable with the argument DEM plays the recording back. This appears to have been removed in the CD version.
