strike exactly the right difficulty level I think that the diverse range of difficulty levels is one of the good things about modding. There is always something to suit your mood - sometimes an exhilarating challenge is desired, whilst other times the brain wishes merely for some chewing gum. The w...

Game crashes when saving/loading while Keen's standing on one of those giant gears in The Understream. Loading causes a smaller version of the level entrance box to show up, then the game hangs (and sometimes crashes DOSBox). Not many people seem to be reporting this issue. Personally, I saved the ...

I don't see any green bunny but there is a very recognisable brown bunny.

Well I don't want to give away the secrets of the game but... let me just say that you will be able to see it within about three seconds of starting the game if you move fast enough!

This is fantastic stuff, Bernie. Really beautiful, graphically, musically and gameplay-wise - you really know how to achieve quality in all three spheres. I don't know what more to say, especially as I haven't read this thread (it appears quite spoiler-heavy) but this mod has definitely brightened u...

Excellent! It didn't take me long to find the Benvolio cameo!! What an excellent idea. The mod is pretty good too!! I really think the map graphics are particularly excellent. I also really like the Yorp replacement - not only is it very well-drawn, but it is also a very neat idea for an alien chara...

This looks unbelievably good, Ronnie!! I think it would be nitpicking to suggest any further modifications to the Butler. What you have there is sufficiently similar and sufficiently different from the Keen1 butler to fit with your style. Your game is very much a reimagining of Keen1 as if it had ac...

Today I learned from VSauce what a Micromortis... I thought the PCKF might enjoy the word. (Not to be confused with a Megade(a)th).

One of my Keen misconceptions was actually about the English language... I learned the word 'chasm' from Keen4, but i thought it was pronounced 'tschasm' and not 'kasm'. I just assumed it alliterated with 'chills' but... it doesn't!

Excellent idea... I did heartily enjoy 'Death Race 2000' a few years ago, it is probably worthy of a re-viewing. I had little to no inclination to go see the knock-off re-make which came out a year or two ago... you need that '70s-style over-the-top indulgence and innuendo-ridden dialogue to pull th...

Our good friends in the UK (:british) and Myanmar ( :dead2 ) also participate the madness that is miles.
