Missing Final Fantasy, Dune, Starcraft, & Zombie scenarios on Dustin Dunn's Civ2 Site

Well I'm pleased to say I've scored again and crossed another one of this most wanted list. While finishing up going through the Metropolis collection for my scenario preservation project I was surprised to find one of the super lost scenario from this thread.. Star Wars The Dagobah System! In the end it's pretty basic and nothing special but nevertheless it nice to knock off another one from this list as I really didn't expect to find any more. However it turns out I was very wrong heh...

Star Wars The Dagobah System Scenario by Filip Carlsson (CiC)
A simple classic Star Wars scenario set in the Dagobah system (where Luke found Yoda).

... As I just announced over in my scenario preservation thread that something truly awesome has occurred.. I've been contacted by someone who has a copy of seemly all the lost scenarios on Dustin Dunn's huge Civ2 website (that as discussed earlier in this thread specialized in rare content not on Poly or CFC) as well as this donors personal huge collection of other old scenarios. I've successfully got the files from him and collection is massive.. possibly even bigger than the Apolyton and CFC atomic ones.. literally hundreds and hundreds of scenarios and mods. But of course the jewel in this collection is Dustin's stuff that I have tried for countless hours over the last couple of years to find out there and had no luck. If you were to look at my super lost scenario list in this thread and ask me which ones in that list I wanted to find more than anything else I'd tell you the 2 Final Fantasy ones, the Starcraft one, the 3 Dune ones, and the Dawn of the Dead one. Well sure enough I've checked the files and they're ALL here!! my most wanted are all here!!! and maybe I'll even find some of the other from that super lost list in here too. I can't believe it.. I can't friggin believe it.. I didn't think this would happen.. I've have some great luck and a lot of help over the last couple of years but I didn't think I'd ever score the grand jewel which is Dustin's collection. smile smile

So stay tuned as at least half the scenarios in the lost and most wanted list are about to get crossed out! smile

Gotta say it one last time lol... SCORE! haha

As posted over in my Civ2 scenario preservation project thread I've finished processing the DSquared collection and have uploaded all the scenarios that I took interest in as well as the entire collection itself for others to enjoy!

So now comes that awesome moment I never thought would happen where I get to cross off a large amount of the scenarios in this long lost scenario wishlist thread and talk about each one I found! smile

Final Fantasy 4 (2 US) Scenario Modpack v2.0 by Frank Johnson (FW)
Yes it's the big one, the whole reason I started this thread! Sure enough it's an awesome total conversion scenario modpack based on Final Fantasy 4 with gorgeous authentic graphics ripped from the original game with very few disappointments. And those few disappointments such as missing factions and capital city names I've corrected myself! I very much look forward to playing this and doing a nice video of it in the future.

Final Fantasy 6 (3 US) Scenario Modpack ALPHA by Dustin Dunn (MGE) - Unfinished
This one was NOT in the missing list but I just have to post it anyway as Dustin who helped out on the FF4 mod above went on to do an even more ambitious FF6 scenario. Sadly he never finished it and it's not really playable but it's super cool work, especially if you're a retro Final Fantasy fan like me!

Final Fantasy 1 Scenario by Jomb (FW)
Yes its another big one from early in this thread. I wanted this one so bad as well, and sure enough it did not disappoint with its really cool total conversion authentic FF1 NES graphics. Jomb had awesome attention to detail and clearly shared my love of a cool game crossover total conversion mods that make Civ2 feel like another game.

Crystalis Scenario by Jomb (FW)
Once again this one was NOT in the missing list because I didn't know about it until I got my hands on Dustin's collection but I gotta mention it as it turns out Jomb did another classic NES era JRPG game and it looks super cool too.

Below is another big one from early in this thread! Admittedly I'd hoped that the missing 3 Dune scenarios would be better than the existing 2 we already had but they fall short a bit. They still have some nice features and clever ideas that make them unique, and I'm super glad to finally have them all as I never thought I'd find them and they plus the other 2 will make a great video down the track...

Starcraft: Terran War Scenario v1.1 by aland007 (MGE)
Yes it's the other big one from the very first post in this thread. I finally have the Starcraft scenario!! smile It's pretty cool and has a number of interesting features but I was a bit disappointed in its lack of custom terrain graphics so I made a separate addon pack (2nd pic).

Dawn of the Dead Scenario v2.0 by Blackclove (FW)
We've finally got Blackclove's missing scenario that even he didn't have anymore! Sure enough it's pretty cool and looks like quite a challenge to survive the overwhelming odds against the zombie apocalypse!

Orion Alpha Centauri Scenario v2.0 by ?unknown? (CiC)
I didn't originally understand why an Alpha C scenario was called Orion but after finally getting my hands on this one I discovered why. Basically the races from Master of Orion are all landing on Alpha Centauri. So basically it's 2 games being merged into one haha. Sadly it lacked custom terrain files so I couldn't resist giving it some to spice it up a bit. They can be easily removed though for those that want the original experience.

Star Wars Tatouine Scenario by J. Belanger (CiC) - French
The final missing Tatooine scenario has been found. It actually stacks up pretty well against all the other ones too.

Sadly despite being on Dustin's website J. Belanger's other Star Wars scenario based on the battle of Hoth sadly wasn't to be found in the DSquared collection so that remains in the missing list. So here we go.. maybe for the last time as I don't expect any more miracles haha.. here's the updated missing scenario list & help info below! smile

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Latest version of missing scenario list & info from OP:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If people want to help but don't want to fluff about searching through your old collections looking for these scenarios then they are also very VERY welcome to donate their entire scenario collections to me to search for these lost scenarios in and also sort out and add to my main preservation project. I have setup some publicly accessible cloud storage with several gigabytes free that anyone can just drag and drop files into (literally it's that easy) so if you have an old CD or hard drive somewhere filled with scenarios from long gone websites and would like to donate please let me know and I'll PM you the link to my cloud. You will be publicly praised and credited for helping me or should you wish to remain anonymous that's no problem either. smile

One of the big Civ2 super sites still missing from the preservation collection is Whistler's (Kunal Shah) SidGames and it's hosted satellite sites like Civ2 Ziggurat, Jorrit's Civ2 Site, Markus's Ultimate/Planet Civ2, and Civ2 Scifilization which all had their own scenario collections with quite a few rarities that never made it to Poly or CFC. From what I can tell none of them survived Sidgames's rather sudden disappearance and webarchive didn't backup any of the downloads. Now that we've got Apolyton (& it's satellites), CivFanatics Atomic, and Dustin Dunns DSquared Zandanian League site it means SidGames (& it's satellites) really is the last super site missing from the Civ2 preservation project. So if anyone out there has content from those SidGames sites or a way to contact Whistler I'm all ears!!
