I guess this one: Fundamentals of Interactive Computer Graphics.

Living the Dream: The Making of Catacomb 3-D
"John Romero, John Carmack, Tom Hall, and Adrian Carmack recount the making of Catacomb 3-D, the team's second FPS."

It contains a photo of a diskette containing TED5, the level editor of Commander Keen.

Another fun question I ask myself is what if keen 4 had been distributed as a limited demo. What 3 or 4 levels would have been good ones to select for a demo? There are 6 levels available in the Special Demo Version : Border Village, Slug Village, Hillville, Lifewater Oasis, Pyramid of Shadows and ...

Awesome.

Have you tried compiling this or the Keen 4 source code in a different compiler than one from Borland?

For size checks at compile-time, I like to do This works in gcc-ia16 and Watcom.

When Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement was released, it came with version 1.01 of TED.

The executable of the November Beta of Keen 1 contains the string "Turbo C++ - Copyright 1990 Borland Intl."

John Carmack, John Romero and Tom Hall on the jumping mechanic in Keen 1.

So the problem is in ID_MM.C function MML_SetupXMS() mminfo.XMSmem += size*16; where mminfo.XMSmem is 32 bits but size is 16 bits, right? This answer probably comes two and a half years too late, but yes, that line is the problem. The code should really have been something like this: mminfo.XMSmem ...

There are some shareware versions of Gamer's Edge games, like Rescue Rover. But I don't think ScubaVenture got one. Scuba Venture is definitely based in the same code as Monster Bash and doesn't actually share any code with Keen 4-6 (or any other Keen game). The F.A.S.T. engine is completely differe...

Awesome. Somehow this version was already known 10 years ago: Duke Nukem 2 : Disposable Hero

Cheats:

N+U+K full health and items

G+O+D+Enter God mode

When the God mode message is shown, press:
W warp to level
R restart level
F choose a weapon
K change skill level

I like the smooth palette fading between levels when a VGA card is detected.

John Romero has hyperthymesia. I expect he knows exactly which levels he created.

While porting the Doom source code from Watcom to DJGPP, I found out that DJGPP doesn't inline outp(), but it does inline outportb().
