Some quick things I want to say about another ending I achieved (highlight to read): I beat the game on Normal and collected all 1,000,000 points! The janitors didn't seem to notice that Keen fiddled with the cloning switches and instead thanked him for cleaning the planet by picking up all the poin...

Yeah, I've been getting that error you posted, Benvolio, and the PCKF was loading very slowly for me yesterday. Thanks for fixing the problem, Fleexy! I really appreciate your service! :) I thought that maybe PCKF was being flooded by numerous AI scraper bots, but that turns out to be not the case i...

First of all, I want to thank Syllypryde and Nisaba for responding to my previous reply in a mature way. I was worried that I'd get a lot of flak for daring to criticize such an highly anticipated and praised mod, but you two have proven me once again how nice this community is. :) Anyway, I beat th...

Congratulations on finally releasing this mod, Nisaba! I'm sure that feels really good! And I bet Mr. M is very proud! I've tried this out a couple times; I started on Normal (my usual difficulty of choice), but then I switched to Easy (having an ammo limit makes it harder). So far, I've beaten 6 le...

I don't really play mods (and games in general) very often these days; when I decide to play one, I'll most likely play something I haven't played before, or play something that can easily be beaten in less than a few hours. It takes time to play through a mod, especially if it's a full-length one. ...

I knew it! I knew it! I knew Foray in the Forest would come out in Christmas! :christmas Do I get a cookie for guessing correctly? Though, according to Nisaba's signature, FitF is already out in our local grocery stores. Anyone willing to verify that? I'll have to check mine. Anyway, I hope this wil...

I uploaded Flash Keen to our server. Unless I missed something, that was the only thing to upload at the moment, right? Sweet! Thanks, Nisaba! In the Flash Keen .zip file you uploaded, I'm not sure if the first 6 files (i.e. anything that's not a .swf or .dat) are really needed to play the game or ...

:O I gasped when I saw the thread title, and my jaw dropped when I saw those screenshots! That title screen is perhaps the coolest one I've ever seen! And the 4th screenshot really gives me strong Ishtar III (from Commander Keen 2000) vibes -- the yellow sky, pink ground, the "weird sh**" ...

Neat article I've read a couple times: https://lateblt.tripod.com/games2.htm What I really like about this list is the sheer amount of unconventional choices listed -- games that I wouldn't expect to see in any other list. I've only heard of like a few of the games listed. Also, most of these games ...

Got a KeenWiki article started, although it needs a little work: https://keenwiki.shikadi.net/wiki/Keen_Is_At_It_Again! I've played through the entire levelpack, and I must say, this was very fun! :) You've got talent in designing levels, I'll say! The level design kinda reminded me of my old levels...

Am I the only one who feels that the quote boxes blend in too much with the posts? Back when we had the previous custom skin, before Fleexy took over ( example ), the quote boxes were white and had dark grey lettering, making it easy to not mix up the quotes with the author's actual writings. Here's...

Alright, I've got quite a lot to say, so I'll divide it into sections: NEW ISSUES I added Merge [Therealdopefish's 1st Levelpack] with Therealdopefish's 2nd Levelpack? to the list. Personally, I feel like the 2nd levelpack is sort of an update to the 1st one, since the former retains all the levels ...

This is something I've been thinking about as well, and I'm glad to see that you've asked Tom Hall and John Romero about this, Pandakeen. Has Tom Hall shared the authorship yet? What about Romero? It'd be really cool to find out who made what levels. Imagine analyzing the levels and seeing if Hall a...

I'm really surprised that the PCKF IRC channel is still up to this day! :eek Does anyone still chat in there, or has the Discord server completely sapped out the members? Actually, it'd be really cool if there are people still hanging out in the IRC channel! I remember going there a few times for Ne...

Welcome to PCKF, SmilerB! That's a very impressive list; you sure like playing mods (just like the rest of us)! Do you have a favorite? There's a few mods on this list that made me raise an eyebrow, like Sunset and Keen 58, which are some of the most extensively patched mods around. I'm sure Command...
