Looks like Dome of Darkness actually got featured in a game from 1994: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_B ... f_Darkness

Not sure which Dome of Darkness it is, though. I guess the other one got destroyed.

Well, looks like this got buried for a while (thanks for bringing it back up, Nisaba!). I'll admit that I could've done a better job at maintaining the original post. I just updated the lists and will soon get back to Pandakeen and Nisaba, once I list what issues have been resolved (and thus removed...

Hey, this could be an interesting discussion! Has someone asked Tom Hall about this? I think someone might've on this forum (when Hall was posting about his Secret Spaceship Club game on here), or maybe on Twitter. I don't know if Hall really gave an answer, though. I didn't know that John Romero ma...

https://keenwiki.shikadi.net/i/9/9b/DadAndMom.png That image had me so confused for so long, it wasn't until JUST recently that I began to see it correctly. What appears to be trees I saw as the sky (the "green part" was some floating piece of grassy ground), while the starry night sky I ...

I just looked at the Billy Blaze account page again, and: https://i.postimg.cc/qvM6ZqJZ/billyblaz-ka.png :O :O :O :O :O Oh my, Billy Blaze actually followed my request! Hey TMST, your goal has finally been achieved! We finally got Billy Blaze to say those four words once again! Also I want to apprec...

I know I'm pretty late, but wow! This is so cool! There's a lot of juicy info to absorb in these documents! Thanks for sharing them, Scott Miller! I wonder if anyone has told Scott that he won a trophy with a Keen Award. Maybe someone could 3D print the trophy and send it to him! Scott's suggestion ...

I'm interested in those remixes, entropicdecay! I always like hearing Keen remixes!

For a moment, I thought this was some person who just happened to have the same name as a game character he's never heard of, like that one guy TMST called . But nope! Haha, nice find, proYorp! :) :lol I looked at the Billy Blaze user account page, and it looks like he actually updated his profile! ...

Wow, what a neat surprise, shikadi! I tried this a while ago and from what I remember, it was kind of interesting. The generated levels can be a bit fun (some of them definitely have that Yorphius II feel Multimania mentioned), although I've dealt with some that felt frustrating (those darn Mine Lay...

Well, his guestbook gets a lot of comments, so I assume the site gets lots of visitors. While "koshka" does mean "female cat", the guy has stated in the main and "About Me" pages that he's male. In the latter, Koshka explained why he used that word and not "kot&quo...

I didn't make any of the following remixes, but I had to share them nonetheless since they're so neat (and would qualify for the next Keen Awards!): Too Hot to Handle remix by Derek Paravacini (Multimania shared his previous remix in the Mildly Neat thread) Br'er Tar Ain't Gonna Get Me! remix by Dav...

Remember when I shared the Shadowlands fan-shrine from Koshka's Kingdom nearly two years ago? That website with DOS game shrines (among many, many other things)? Well, since then, Koshka added a sub-section to his DOS games page (AKA the Mystery Mansion), where he writes about his experiences and fe...

There's this neat website called The Eric Experiment , a place with tech projects and some useful-looking downloads (including stuff for Windows 3.x). It also comes with a YouTube channel. Earlier this year, Eric built what is perhaps the tiniest 486 computer! Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/w...

I remember that game! I haven't played it in a long time, but I remember noticing even back then how the game was obviously built off of the Keen Dreams/Galaxy engine. Was this the only non-Keen game to use that engine? Though, if there were others, chances are that they made a lot more modification...

I've tried this out, and it's pretty neat! The presentation may seem lacking (although it has that charming old-school Game Maker game feel to it), but it can be fun and addicting, and the concept is pretty clever (platforming plus Tetris). It's fun to see what sort of structures are created through...
