Public Commander Keen Forum

I always thought that the "waving trees" in Keen Dreams were King Boobus' enslaved children out working the fields and waving to Keen for help. I guess being colorblind meant I never noticed that the children have green heads, although I guess in hindsight they do make for strange-looking ...

Well, the thing is, I've heard plenty of complaints about both Well of Wishes and Pyramid of the Forbidden on their own and about levels of similar type, so those seemed to be the obvious answers for some of the least popular levels, thus making them the least necessary to include (and possibly nec...

I just thought of this mod for the first time in a long while. And now it's turning 18!

Must be a sign that Spleen is gonna come with updates any day now right?

It's a reeeaaaaall tough call, because there's a lot of places in all the Keen games that I felt had a really powerful sense of place, and so many I could point to where I would wander round exploring just thinking and speculating about what the aliens used these spaces and buildings and controls fo...

Like everybody else I have a hard time picking one, let alone three, because...well, I don't like all the levels equally but I certainly don't dislike any of them (I'll come back when we get to Keen 6 :p ) I can, though, point to a few that I never really looked forward to playing as much as others ...

Hey, thanks. It’s awesome to hear the comic has had a lasting influence. Honestly, that means a lot. :o No seriously these are so amazing, and I've also never forgotten about them and just how much fun they were to read. I chose a good time to randomly reemerge here because this makes me so happy I...

Shockshunds are bastards and nowhere moreso than in the Neutrino Burst Injector. They're used almost too well here, taking full advantage of their ability to jump down on top of you with little warning pretty much everywhere they appear. For whatever reason though the part of this level that really ...

Aah, always a pleasure seeing someone coming back (from the dead) after a long time! WB! Thanks! I just gave your Cloudius IX project a peek and it's beautiful. The Keengine looks amazing to begin with. I can't wait to play more of it. (By the way, that wrist computer looks reeeaaaaal familiar... ;...

God damn it's been a while. Not sure how many of you pups will remember me. I think the last time I was active on the PCKF was in like...2014? Early 2015 maybe? So much has happened in my life and the larger world since then that I won't bother to delve into it. I saw that a new (official) Commander...

I knew your avatar was familiar in a distant, vague sort of way...

I saw Earth in concert over the weekend. I think it's the best live show I've ever been to. I'd post some songs but there's too much variety and none of them would do justice to how good Earth was live anyway. Listen to Hex , Phase 3 , Earth 2 , and Primitive and Deadly all the way through. Listenin...

Yeah, some of the music does sound awfully familiar... ;) This is awesome--mostly as a testament to the power of patching, though on it's own level it's a fun little arcade-style game, too. The game crashed on me on...I forget the name of the level, it's the (first?) one where you start out with the...

I know mods that are only accessible using W+F10

I have one mod on hold where Commander Keen goes to some psychedelic weird place to find his head, which has gone missing somehow. I don't have much story beyond that. Then there's the Comrade Keen remake, on a much longer hold, which is a remake of a mod that was already pretty weird. I guess Cloud...

A couple years ago I bought an album on cassette, Laibach's "Kapital", for no reason other than that the cassette version is different (and, it turns out, better) than the digital version. It's a weird case and I haven't bought cassettes before or since, though there still seem to be a han...
