Where did you get the source?

I recall the Vorticon leader referring to Keen "slaughtering" them.

I never said it was impossible. Just highly improbable based on what limited info that I have...and most of said info is based on what Tom Hall has personally stated...so, I haven't actually tried to obtain the rights myself. One thing I do know for sure is this, strictly based on basic economic law...

SupFanat , how would you propose we get the rights to the games? We would at least have to offer more than what they've been making on the trickle of sales to make it profitable for them. However, I don't know if you can even buy the rights in the first place. Because Tom Hall can't even buy the ri...

2.) I have been on forums where the adminship has been abusive and authoritarian (The forum is now basically dead). In fact, I modded for that forum for a while but I had to tender my modship because the forum was run like a regime where the members where not respected, where certain members were o...

Pick a side! Daaanng....the PCKF just got dangeruss! In all seriousness, I think it's easy to assume that as a community, PCKF is official place for anyone and anything to talk about Keen. But it's really not, as Keening Product pointed out, its owned by someone (Flaose, I believe? I recall that Ke...

w00t! I just want to thank everyone for getting us to 100 pages!

I agree that after XP, having Vista be pretty much just a graphical upgrade to its predecessor was disappointing. Especially after how much Bill Gates was trying to sell how it would really revolutionize Windows as a whole (back when it was still called "Longhorn"). I also agree about Wind...

I'm ranking them in terms of how intuitive the interface is and how stable I recall them running on my computer. So for instance, ME had a good Win95-esque interface, but as I recall, it ran my first computer into the ground. Windows 8 runs better in comparison (in my experience at least), but I fee...

So maybe after all of this time... my dream will actually come true when I can truly say...

"I liked Keen mods before they went commercial..."

*puts on hipster glasses*

I currently use 1024x768...primitive, I know haha

Windows 8 is by far not Microsoft's only major failure in the last 27 years. Windows ME anyone? Don't forget Vista. I honestly didn't think Vista was all that bad-- it ran great on my computer when I had it and actually played more games than 7 has allowed me to (I hate how they basically cut off 1...

Anyone else think this should be the new Keen Day? Most game series' use a date the first game was released on, as their point of celebration. Whereas Keen Day is only celebrated on 3-14 because the main character's IQ is the same number. Having a day not shared by Pi day or Einstein's birthday migh...

So if someone gets the rights to each individual Keen game (1-6, Dreams, GBC), do they get to make TUIT?

You know, kind of like collecting all of the Chaos Emeralds?

It would be interesting to see some kind of law inacted to deal with situations where the rights of the creator to their creation are no longer held by them. Like Commander Keen, Wasteland and even Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Oswald was created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney, but were under contract to U...
