It's interesting that in 2025 there's the first Halloween Harry mod. But I can't figure how to play it. I've tried both Alien Carnage v1.0 and the shareware version. Any other version or ideas? Instructions from the author - download full version of Halloween Harry from rgb classic games. Replace s...

I didn't test it out myself yet but maybe try with the registered version that uses the Halloween Harry name rather than Alien Carnage? I've reached out to the author to confirm how to install it.

The first Halloween Harry mod I've ever heard of is now added to the list!

Me playing through the Keen 6 demo on easy mode, exploiting some glitches.

I was just messing around with keen 6, doing my typical manuever in level 1 of impossible pogo to get candies and then shooting down on the enemy while in the air and wound up doing an unexpected impossible bullet! In this case keen is slightly elevated from the top of the bloog sprite rather than t...

If you are active in other spaces related to dos gaming, perhaps you've seen the trailer for the upcoming Biomenace remastered edition. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3459100/BioMenace_Remastered/ Anyways it looks great and I'm quite looking forward to this. It seemed relevant to have a thread h...

I'm not particularly good at jetpack but I'll give these a try since it's new content.

If he made them, you'd think they could be made resistant to slug slime or the flashing goo on the floor in Keen6...

Version history is a tough thing for dos games. There seem to have been perhaps 4 or more versions of Jill of the jungle shareware with a few variations on whether a particular devil enemy is possible to kill easily or not, other updates in those versions relate to sound blaster support as I guess t...

This is more of a random Keen thought but how can Keen jump so high? He jumps like 5 times his height! If keen is 3 feet tall then he's bouncing 15 feet up in the air even without the pogo stick! Could it be that his shoes are one of his inventions?

You should start a thread at Doomworld, I'm sure some people there would be into it. Fun concept!

Yeah bloog control center definitely has a darker feel. As for riding the bloog rocket to the space area instead of the bwb rocket, here's some ideas I just thought of for fun: -Maybe the bwb rocket lands like a plane (even though it doesn't seem to have wheels?) and needs a bit of a runway for take...

Keen sits in the optimal part of the Venn diagram between adults and kids. It is a child-friendly universe but is neither pateonising nor infantilising. That said, in real terms, in 2025, adult engagement with Keen is rooted in a connection to a previous childhood, and is quite unlikely to be due t...

Here's something I've been thinking about. The game industry was primarily focused on children in the early 90s, like kids under 12 years old. Keen was certainly played by children, characters like princess Lindsey were added to the games due to fan mail coming in from children... So in that respect...
