I don't have a floppy drive anymore so those won't help for me! A legit Keen 6 would've been nice, but I have a copy that's been patched to the latest version, as well as scans of the box and manual, so I'm good!

I just did it on my netbook: If you have Intel graphics (which is the only kind of card which I know of which does this), right-click on the system tray icon > Graphics Options > Hot Keys > Disable. That rotating thing caused me so much trouble with my laptop! And I'd keep having to re-orient the s...

I keep my games backed up on CD's. I prefer reliving my childhood on my new almost top-of-the-line computer (thank god for DosBox)! I've got an original floppy disk of Keen 4 and 5, as well as 3D Realms's Keen 1-5 combo CD. As for Keen Dreams, yes there was music composed, but it had to be cut due t...

I think maybe you ought to make it an image of Keen's BwB rendezvousing with the Imposter Keen's BwB.

3. A glitch on the world map - the elevator to the Krodacian Overlabs. When you ride it downwards, it immediately sends you back up again (i.e. it doesn't let you move away from it). When you use the elevator a second time, it works correctly, though. Yeah, we've mentioned that already, too! He can...

I think, rather than that "See you next time..." screen in the ending, Keen 8 should have another "to be continued..." splash screen like in Keen 4 and 7. And Keen 7 has a chocolate bar as a points item, too much like the candy bar in Keen 4, I suggest replacing it with a pretzel...

I found a few things that need to be addressed in the revised Keen 8: -In most of the demos, Keen gets himself killed! And in one, he keeps clinging to the right end of the level, and shoots repeatedly towards it though there's nothing there. -In the demos, the High score screen is played in a secon...

Finally, I'd still like to see the large, scrolling "COMMANDER KEEN" letters in the opening credits recolored yellow to match those on the title screen. This I can do. Thanks Lemm for helping me get this working right. The link has been updated to include this. Ok, good! Now make sure to ...

Good to see the update! The elevator issue in the labs area still needs addressing. Think you ought to make it so your shots can block Mortimers? Or that make it too easy...? I would still like to see the location window on the status screen display what area you're in on the world map(Frosthol, Kor...

i still not get how he could alive the crash on the planet , and the flying in the cold space full of cosmic radiation in the screens after you complete it you seem him flying in the space and crashing :dead2 How was Keen able to breathe on Mars? How do the food things float? And where does he put ...

Prequels only. And prequel where keen and mortimer are still friends fits perfectly with smallville Nah, we're quite certain they were bitter enemies from day one! I don't really get this... "Keen 7-9" are excellent mods but they're not canon, they are fan-made just as anything else the f...

It worked like that in Keen 4, so you should be able to do it...

The description of the gems, "Floating in the sky are gems," sounds too much like it was ripped from Keen 4. Maybe it should go... "Special translucent gems can be found scattered throughout Kordacia. These gems are a vital energy source, and if Keen collects one hundred gems, he gain...

Glad to see you're willing to improve upon Keen 7 because it is very much the weakest link of the trilogy and not little else than a reskin of Keen 4. I think I actually prefer Keen 4 to Keen 7 (sorry). That's how I feel about it. I emailed Ceilick a list of changes I wanted, but thought I'd put it...

I haven't actually ever even seen the Vorticon boxes. Here's one but it's small and it doesn't have the back cover scan It would be nice a 300dpi scan for every cover :p http://i39.tinypic.com/iqdlop.jpg Ew. I hate that box. they had a similar one for Cosmo. I like that box! I definitely prefer tha...
