After some years working successfully for other companies, Westwood expanded into designing its own games in-house, mainly role-playing, strategy and adventure games. In 1992, Westwood created the TropeCodifier for RealTimeStrategy with ''Videogame/DuneII''. The greatest hit and commercial success came in 1995 with the release of ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'', which set sales records and spawned a successful saga. It was followed by Monopoly CD-ROM, which was the first commercial game with Internet support and by the awarded ''VideoGame/BladeRunner'', a very expansive adaptation of the [[Film/BladeRunner film]].
