Download it from here (with a browser, it does some redirect crap). Install dosbox:
sudo aptitude install dosbox
It is a self-extracting zip file, so you can either use wine to unzip (holy nuclear option, batman) or install unzip:
sudo aptitude install unzip
Create a directory that we can ask dosbox to mount as ‘C:’, then unzip it:
mkdir -p ~/.dos/Dune2
cd ~/.dos/Dune2
unzip ~/Downloads/Dune2.exe
Get a default config file by starting up dosbox:
dosbox
and (in dosbox) ask it to write out a config file for you:
config -writeconf /home/you/.dosbox.conf
type ‘exit’ in the dosbox window to, er, exit. Add the line to mount the directory we created:
echo "mount c /home/you/.dos" >> ~/.dosbox.conf
and start dosbox again (with that config):
dosbox -conf ~/.dosbox.conf
and run Dune2 in the dosbox window (dosbox’s shell has tab completion, yay):
cd Dune2
Dune2.exe
Clicking in the window will make dosbox grab your mouse and keyboard - ctrl-f10 to escape.
