I remember Dune 2 fit on two floppies (2x 1.44MB). That is impressive. It was compressed and decompressed itself on install, but still.

I think it was 4 floppies.

The Amiga-version was on 4 floppies, as most Amigas were equipped with drives for DD floppies (880k when formatted for the Amiga), while contemporary PC's had drives for HD floppies (1.44 MB formatted with FAT).

AFAIR, the PC version was 4 floppies too, and ebay seems to agree. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ZKoAAOSwsrBcwbR8/s-l1600.png

Some of the 3.5 inch floppies used on PC games were 720k DD disks because not everyone had HD drives.
