Public Commander Keen Forum

Not sure if this is true or not, but according to my memories, I was rarely able to play secret level on easy difficulty (with the crashing game version) without a crash. It just randomly, after maybe series of tries, did not crash, maybe a save/load helped? Really not sure if that's even technicall...

Not because I would want to make my own mod... but just out of curiosity, what you think is the best Keen Galaxy episode to base your mod on? And I'm talking about completely original mod (with new graphics, world, monsters, mechanics...) rather than a level pack, where you just obviously pick the g...

It rocks!

I think that this could be something very obvious and well-known for everyone who played all Commander Keen episodes, but still, I could not resist writing up this post anyway. So, basically, you know that both Vorticon and Galaxy series have three episodes (1+2+3 and 4+5+6). The first episode of ea...

For me, the hardest place in Keen 4 which I was always the most afraid of, was the last section of Well of Wishes, which leads to a room with council member and which is guarded by a dopefish or two (dep. on difficulty). As a small kid, and even still today, I had always problems figuring out how to...

To be honest, I can't really say I have any favourite or least favourite level in Keen 5. For me, all of the Keen5 levels always visually looked very similar to each other (Keen5 uses just three visual sets - black/yellow stripe, red and green walls). The gameplay feels the same for whole Keen5, exc...

It's quite hard to post into this discussion, as I generally like more all the Galaxy series than Vorticon series. Except better graphics, music and technical aspects they are also better in playability and controls. The biggest thing I HATE in Vorticons is Ctrl+Alt firing, fortunately Galaxy fixed ...

If I look back into my childhood, I would say, that my least favourite Keen game was Keen 2. Keen2 was the game that I was the most afraid of and felt extremely hard to me. Overally the environment and levels felt rather inhospitable and were full of hazards and dangerous robots. Vorticon Elites wer...

Well, when I released this mod I was so happy because I thought it was quite nice, but now I almost finished its sequel I changed my opinion, so I accept your 2 stars I'd like to ask you to comment back on my points, as I'm quite curious especially about point 1 and 2. How you playtested your level...

Hello, I just finished playing through this mod and I'd like to give my thoughts and feedback. Overally, this was one of the less great mods from those I've played so far, my ranking is unfortunately only 2 stars of 5, as this mod had several issues I'd like to describe. 1. The absolutely most frust...

Checked the working download, and I identified it as this one: https://keenwiki.shikadi.net/wiki/Airefresco%27s_Keen_1_Levelpack So it's nothing new, but it's still interesting. Eh, I even did not try searching for something of poor quality like this on Keen Wiki. I hoped I would reveal a small new...

EDIT: Not sure if that even counts, but many years ago (around 2000's) I played some custom Commander Keen 1 level pack of poor quality which I found on a Czech website related to Commander Keen. Do you still have the levelpack or remember the name of the website? I'm just a bit curious if this is ...

For me, it was indeed TUIT trilogy, the very first mod I played (as I can remember) was Keen7 and probably also the Birdman at the same time. I was not very impressed by Keen7 (The Keys of Krodacia) as I did not really much like the graphics due to lack of natural green color, and most of the world ...

I must admit, that I never finished any episode of the Vorticons series as a kid (and probably haven't even so far) without cheats. Keen1 was game I was able to complete the biggest part of. I remember finishing all the levels except these two: Ice City and Vorticon Commander's Castle. In Ice City, ...

Well, I must admit that I personally never finished Keen Dreams regularly (without cheats). During my childhood, when I played Keen games the most, the game was just too hard to me - especially more limited movement (no pogo stick) and not-permanently-killable monsters and a weapon that was harder t...
