Public Commander Keen Forum

That's a cool find, dark! It's not surprising that they would think about having an NES port. Dangerous Dave and Commander Keen were showing off how they could do smooth scrolling on PC, just like the NES! Also, some other PC games have had ports. King's Quest V comes to mind. I did a little bit of ...

Update: Just started the game Cave Story. Its a free platformer and it's awesome!

I'm genuinely laughing right now.

Collector's Edition of this game? AND it's sold out??? For $120 USD?????????
Yikes. This game is so buggy that it is comedic to see this kind of stuff around.

Kinda terrible that these games are quite hard to find. Most people are not going to know where on earth to look if they want to play Keen Dreams or Keen 6. Then some people don't have a clue how to run these games through DOSbox. It's so much easier to just start a bundle of games and pick which yo...

Well, doesn't hosting a game on Steam cost $100 usd? Kinda annoying. And I think putting a game on GOG is free but they reject most games that aren't of super good quality or AAA.

Well, didn't know that this topic existed! Would have commented way earlier. I enjoy lot of different genres, but my go-tos are Rock/metal. Bands I like/listen to often: Rush, R.E.M, Metallica, Wintersun (only know one album but it's awesome powermetal), Rhapsody (of fire), Foo Fighters, Weezer, Iro...

Cool! These are easy to enable and fun to screw around with! I wish that all games would bring back cheats and cheat codes; they were so fun!!! I just like doing things that would normally be impossible and just breaking the game. It's quite funny to me!

Well, if we can't conclude who has the rights to Keen 6, we can certainly conclude that copyright laws, especially convoluted ones like this are extremely stupid!

I'm juggling Doom WADs and Keen mods. Started a rogue-lite/adventure game called Bastion. This morning I beat The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on my Switch and I am going to start Mario Wonder soon. The backlog is massive!

I don't think that game companies even know who owns it. Atari does not have a single mention of Commander Keen on their website, neither does Microsoft, Id Software has no mentions of it, and ZeniMax Media, the owners of Id Software, have a mention of EVERY ID software game on their site EXCEPT Com...

Did some research, and it definitely seems like Bethesda/Microsoft have the rights to Keen 6. However, due to some strange agreement in the 90s, FormGen originally had specific rights that prevent Bethesda from re-releasing it. NightDive doesn't have the rights to Keen 6 directly, but I'm sure they ...

Ah yes... The most amazing game of all time. Of course.

Good point. I was referring to the fact that it wasn't useful in-game anywhere that I could tell. I had no idea that you had plans for custom levels, but I am glad that you do! Mostly because I really like the engine and feel of this game, and would like to see how other people take it!

Alright, interesting to know! I did some more trying and I was able to chain jumps too, but I don't think it would be an abusable glitch.
In other words, it's something that you could fix but only if it's really easy to do.

Just played some more of this Mod and downloaded that update. Overall, I have experienced no crashing or anything like that. However, I noticed a small bug (or at least I think it's a bug) that allows you to jump on surfaces like water instead of getting hurt. The bug was in all previous updates too...
