I was also surprised at the final bid for Keen 6 - I expected more than $50 less than what it sold for, but the price for Keen "Goodbye Galaxy" (4 & 5) floored me, to be honest. Apparently a complete boxed copy of a GT Software version is more rare than I thought?

Selling my Keen Games

Due to the fact that i haven't visited in forever, and played these games for even longer, I have decided to get rid of them, and hopefully recoup some of what these games cost me. Links below to both of my Keen games on ebay. Am I asking too much? Feedback might convince me to modify the listing. h...

In the related videos I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMt2XWYsTcE&feature=related That was made by TmsT years and years ago... It's now on NewGrounds . That youtube video is junk, but yeah, a masterpiece many ways. Does anyone have the high-quality copy of just the music? I remembe...

So what's the deal, can anyone really hear a difference? If i play an mp3 on my laptop I can even tell if its 320kbs or 128kbs. Maybe it's just psychologic, people seeing that number, and automatically thinking 'wow, 192k is such a high number, I really feel this has to sound better' It depends mor...

...Or perhaps it's his disguise? Perhaps he has an "undisturbed / grassy facade", that he places carefully around the BWB after he lands, so as not to frighten the inhabitants of the planet? Assume nothing!

What makes you so certain that Keen had to LOOK for that clearing? Perhaps his BWB Megarocket, with it's extreme destructive power, MADE that clearing by incinerating every carbon-based object in the near vicinity?

Wouldn't it be just as easy with Active Desktop and a little DHTML? Renaming/replacing bitmap images seems a little sloppy to me.

What I'm referring to is too much depth. Remember the clouds in Keen 4 and 6? Yes they were flat, as were the dunes in Lifewater Oasis and Miragia, but that's what kept the lighthearted cartoonish feel in the game. The whispy clouds, the rocks, and sand dunes are about as realistic as you can get wi...

So far the level map looks cartoon-ish which is consistent with the atmosphere of the original keen series, but as was already mentioned, the amount of--for lack of a better word--dithering of the in-level desert backdrop, including the clouds, contrasts too much. My suggestion, if you're dead set o...

In that case, to the best of my knowledge, there are no existing speed run records for Keen 6. Let the competition begin!

I think Genius314 had a good question though. What version of keen 6 has the secret area with the mirror?

I don't think it's a joke. I just did a google search and found other references of it here: http://www.al-morrin.co.uk/samira/keen/hints6.html . Here's the quote. There is a mirror in the Second Dome of Darkness . To get to it, use the no clippings cheat while jumping up and right. Save the game, t...

IMO it totally counts, and I believe it could be done in less time still. You see where he takes too long to break the fuse in Korath Base III? Also the new record for Keen 6 appears to be 3:29 . I was checking out the profile for 3v3ryUs3rn4m31sT4k3n - the guy who did the keen 5 2:42 speed run, and...

In that case neither of the Keen 6 speed runs count as they both exploit serious clipping errors and use IB to complete. The Keen Dreams 5:08 speed run wouldn't count either for the same reason. It uses the die at level edge glitch as well.

Well apparently the record for Keen 5 is 2:42.
