Public Commander Keen Forum

I like the block font. Maybe try horizontal yellow/green/white helmet stripes. Or Galaxy style font shading as part of another alternate heading.

Dunno about the cursive. I think it's too much really but if it stays maybe give it a brighter colour and/or remove the black outline?

i heart approximately all of those headers

The "This is neat." looks untidy though.

Nice. Love the pastely style. I'm quite fond of the existing round borders and lower case heading and would rather see the sharp corners on buttons and such elsewhere brought a bit more into line with that. Though it would be worth seeing how the alternative looks in case it does come up nicely. I d...

I went searching for the filename and found your MobyGames forum post.

Someone posted a video of "Christmas for Windows '93" which is most likely what you're thinking of:

Yeah, we should definitely go with something brighter and more concise like those ones Nisaba posted.

Wish I'd known about the place sooner. Would have made my high school years a bit more bearable.

It's weird how Keen already seemed retro and obsolete barely a decade after its release. And now two more have happened and we still manage to keep it alive.

First i as in 'sit', a as in 'and', last 'i' slightly extended more like a y, with emphasis on the middle syllable.

Things haven't changed a lot. I now have a convenient excuse not to go and see people and do things. Had Easter off for the first time in like 15 years due to events being cancelled. It means a bit less money but it was going to be a particularly complicated operation this year so I was actually rel...

Ah, zapzot. That was the other one was trying to remember. I take it ckgut has just started rebulding it. Last I recall you had to access the files via specific URLs. Patching is indeed the next option. It would be cooler to use classic trainers though, but I guess there must have only ever been tha...

Does anyone know where to find trainer cracks for the Keen games? I know at least one exists for Commander Keen 6 that gives you unlimited lives and ammo and removed the security question, as it was originally installed on my 386 in the 90s. I don't have that copy any more and searching online has s...

Granted. You are abducted by bloogs who remove your brain and install it in a biocomputer that mines FleexCoin.

I wish I had all of the FleexCoins.

I have a similar spec model but the floppy drive is external and got knocked around a bit too much and doesn't seem to work any more. There is a removable CD drive where the floppy is on yours. Surely nobody will ever need that much space so it's highly superfluous, but the pins are vertical so the ...

From the couple of levels I've played so far I agree it can be difficult telling the background from the foreground. Doesn't bother me too much and it's probably not a big deal for most Keeners. Just requires a bit more caution and checking whether things are solid rather than taking a leap of faith...

So far the bright atmosphere and idyllic aesthetic is definitely more in line with my taste than the darker, gritty Galaxy mods that have been released in the past 5 years or so.

The forum is a bit slow these days, but there's a fair bit of activity on the Discord . It's a lot easier to drop in and discuss things more casually there than trying to even whatever forum words etc I still have my WIP mods on hand, but haven't had the right combination of time, energy and proper ...
