Re: The Other Android Duplicate

While we're getting conspiratorial, what if there never was a real Mortimer, and every Mortimer has always been an android built by some evil mastermind and purposely placed on Earth/in Keen's life. :mort2 What if Billy is indeed a genius, but unstable? Mortimer could be his "Mr. Hyde" al...

Re: What is the hardest place/level for you in Keen 4?

It's the Isle of Fire for me. In fact, I've been trying to complete a Hard playthrough for the past few days and it's the last holdout. There are certain spots where you have to go up or down a pole, where a Berkeloid is waiting. And their behavior is such that they stay right on top of you and don'...

Re: The Earth Implodes

This is neat! Like many others I got completely stomped by the difficulty curve at first, but I'm getting the hang of it. The new sound effects, creative enemy behavior, and especially the new graphics are all top-notch. This feels more like a polished game than a mod of an old one. I can't decipher...

Re: Runtime error 200 (divide by zero) in Pharoah's Tomb, Arctic Adventure, Monuments of Mars

The PCX Effects library code attempts to detect the CPU speed so that the delays during the animations work correctly. On "fast" CPUs, this results in a divide error. This should help you get the games running, even on "fast" CPUs. Either that or set your DOSBox cycles count bac...

Runtime error 200 (divide by zero) in Pharoah's Tomb, Arctic Adventure, Monuments of Mars

Hello everyone, I'm sure if you played shareware DOS games such as Keen 1 and 4, you also had these games lying around somewhere. AFAIK, 3DRealms has actually made all four episodes of Pharoah's Tomb, Arctic Adventure, and Monuments of Mars freeware now. For 10+ years I've had working copies of all ...

Re: uGrab - a GUI-based EGAGRAPH editor (not just) for Keen source mods

Will I finally finish a mod after 11 years?

This tool means one less excuse! The visual hitbox editor is super cool.

Re: Getting Keen 4-6 and Dreams mods running on real DOS PCs

Very cool!

I had a working 486 until a couple years ago; after a hard drive failure I left it at my parents' house until I could find a replacement part. Turns out somebody got rid of it a while back.

I guess this means I can use this trick you've found as an excuse to get another one!

10 years on

Has it really been so long? I missed the actual date (back in August) but evidently I joined this forum 10 years ago. (And I'm one of the new guys.) A lot can change in 10 years. I've been all over the continent and worked all kinds of jobs. My interest here has waxed and waned as real life reared i...

Re: The Ocflore Project

Hi there guys, this mod is getting closer and closer to completion and I'm wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with composing some tracks for the mod? So far I don't have anything other than a midi from Gamebird (not sure whether these are easily converted to imf?), but I have a lot of...

I can't believe it! As life goes on and I take longer and longer breaks from this place, I always come back to find something marvelous. I remember sending in music for this 5-6 years ago! I just downloaded it and only had time to play through the first couple of levels, but even in that short exper...

Was this the Keenweb mod? I have some folders on my computer dating back to 2010 that I think you released at one point. I could upload those if you want, but I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for. Yes, that was it! Sorry for the bump. Send me a PM or post a link here! Somehow I lost all t...
