Re: Your Own Keen Music!
The part for one of the main leads is fairly clearly off at the point Xky mentioned, it sounds out of tune. Maybe off by an octave? At least a few semitones. One only needs to hear the original IMF to confirm this. That being said, it's a cool idea, although I do wonder about "8-bit" remix...

Re: Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure II: HUMANIZED!!! (W.I.P.)
Will this be an Apogee format game, or a game in modern languages?
Basically, will the game use IMF's or digital audio? Depending on the reply, I might be able to help.

Duke3D fan vinyl project
Hey folks, A good friend of mine, the Space Quest Historian, is releasing a Duke3D vinyl campaign today with the backing of Lee Jackson and Bobby Prince. If you're interested, support if you can, and share if you can't. :) Marketing spiel: "Prepare to kick ass and chew bubble gum. Wait... sorry...

Anyone done a BioMenace GM conversion?
Hey folks, At some point I'll convert the IMF's to MIDI and then rework them myself, but I was just wondering if anyone had already done it. The longer time goes on, the more I feel like this is one of Apogee's best games and soundtracks, even though people don't seem to rate it as much as others. M...

Re: Customized Screen Update Code For Keen 4-6
Fully aware of what the patch does, hence why I'm looking to use it! The game won't load with the fix added to the bottom of the patch (before the %end). It gives an error in DOSBox. I can be more specific if that's helpful. Thanks for the link, that seems like a useful thread. Great work, by the wa...

Re: Customized Screen Update Code For Keen 4-6
Hey guys, Sorry to necro an old thread, but I was trying to use this patch with the Keen 4 mod "Keen 7" by Ceilick, and I couldn't get it working. Basically, I did what I thought was right, which was to copy the text from King Duke's txt file (the K4 one) to the bottom of the Keen 7 patch ...

Re: Neutrino Burst Injector
Neutrino Burst Injector as a level was always a weird one for me. That bouncy Slicestar was far more intimidating to me than the Shockshund. No way! The Slicestar is based on physics, so it's predictable to an extent. You're also unlikely to get bad luck with them multiple times in a row (as in, if...

Re: Commander Keen MIDI conversions?
I knew someone would mention this if I said it, I almost didn't ;) I mean, I don't know for sure. But his MIDI files sound very different than the game IMF files, and not just the Sound Canvas vs FM synthesis either. Drum parts are completely different for some tracks (see: Duke 2 Prince MIDI). Some...

Re: Commander Keen MIDI conversions?
Thanks Quillax. Yeah, as Quillax said, I was looking for conversions done by fans, as Bobby Prince's "original" MIDI's seem more like work he did after the game, not before it. Either way, they don't resemble the game that much, and IMF->MIDI conversion (with tweaking) yields closer result...

Neutrino Burst Injector
Was this level that made you hate Shockshunds? For me, yes. I'm playing on Normal with an eye to play Hard next time, god help me if there's a third one!

Commander Keen MIDI conversions?
Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has released GM conversions of the IMF originals. I know a few have done it, but unlike other Apogee games, there only seems to be the Bobby Prince recreations floating around. Obviously I could do it myself, but I don't have the time, and I'm not very good at...

Re: ... What I've been up to lately...
Not sure that qualifies as good news (in fact, it looks worse to me). If all they're doing is taking a wonderful game and changing the backgrounds and HUD, count me out.

Apogee returns and is doing remasters(!)
Hey folks,
Found this out tonight while looking up old games.
Not sure how I feel about "remasters" that look the old games themselves, but maybe (just maybe) there will be new retro-platformers out of Apogee.
