Re: Commander Keen Collection (floppy disks, mail orders etc)

Some time ago in this thread I was advised to create disk images from my original Keen 6 floppies, and to search the "empty space" for previously deleted files (digital archeology?). I have now made image files (using WinImage) from both Keen 6 floppy disks and my original Bio Menace insta...

Re: Commander Keen Collection (floppy disks, mail orders etc)

I just checked the disks and Disk 1 contains INSTALL.EXE from 06-11-1991 03:26 and the hidden files CK6-1V, CK6-2C, CK6-2V, CK6-3, all from 15-11-1991. On Disk 2 there are two hidden files: CK6-1C and CK6-4, both also from 15-11-1991. If this seems in any way out of the ordinary, I would be happy to...

Re: Commander Keen Collection (floppy disks, mail orders etc)

I still have my Keen 6 floppies, which I've had since the mid 90'ies. They both look very similar to the one of 55Aavenue: Blue 3.5" disks labeled "Aliens Ate My Babysitter" in a typewriter-like font underneath a Commander Keen logo. The main difference is I have TWO disks, labeled Di...

Re: Commander Keen Mobile Reboot

I don't see it on Google play store either (I'm in Northern Europe). Commander Genius is still the first result when searching for "commander keen". Still not sure how to best handle the situation: A) ignore and not download to show how little I am interested or B) download, give a negativ...

Re: My birthday again

Happy birthday! :birthday

It sounds like your sequel to Keen Dreams is very well under way. I'm looking very much forward to seeing which new enemies you have invented!

Re: Buy an official Commander Keen shirt!

Around ten years ago I saw a guy wearing a purple sweatshirt with "Commander Keen - Goodbye Galaxy" printed on the front. It looked old and faded. Don't know if it was an officially licensed item, or some homemade thing.

Re: Commander Keen Confronts the Commandeered Planet

Glad you liked the mod, KeenRush. I'm also very satisfied with how your flying enemy ended up, it's behaves very much like it's Starquake-inspiration - awesome patching you did there! Did anyone find the secret level? I'm wondering if it is too hard to find. Perhaps I should leave a hint somewhere i...

Re: Commander Keen Confronts the Commandeered Planet

Thanks for all the kind words. If this mod can bring back good memories of computer games from long ago, then I consider it a success. Maybe this should go in the modding forum, but does anyone know if it is possible to make Keens shots always result in a "ZAP" and the tankbot's shots alwa...

Re: Spleenish Keen Fan Art

I have absolutely no qualifications as an art critic, but I do think these are extremely good. And how can one person produce images in such varying styles? That really impresses me! I would love to have a huge print of "Generic space platforms" hanging on my living room wall - there is ju...

Re: Beta testers wanted for K1 mod

Thanks for the offer Troublesome, however, I think Roobars test report and a couple of ideas I got recently gave me enough to work on at the moment. It's a lot of work doing a Keen mod - I really admire those who have done several. But it's also a lot of fun, so I'll keep at it. Current status and p...

Re: Beta testers wanted for K1 mod

Roobar , thanks for the interest - I have you noted as "non-Starquake acquainted" tester. Also glad you like the "pseudo CGA" - my approach was to assume the black/white/cyan/magenta of the PC version of Starquake were the true colors of that alien world, and not just a limitati...

Beta testers wanted for K1 mod

Hello good people of PCKF, I'm a new member here, but signed up over at Keen:Modding a couple months ago to get help with two patches [thanks KeenRush and levellass!]. The Keen1-mod I announced over there (Commander Keen Confronts the Commandeered Planet) is now nearly complete: All it is missing is...
