Public Commander Keen Forum

I did another challenge run, this time of Commander Keen 1. The goal of this run is to complete all of the levels with the least score possible. I think I pulled it off. Most of the levels were recorded in the same run. 2 of them were rerecorded later, because I realized I could skip a few lollipops...

Good job. That game and bio menace are insane on hard mode.

So I did a playthrough of crystal caves 1 and I found that I had $999,750 at the end of the game. Mylo then went and cashed in the crystals, and that gave me a little over 1,000,000. Why did Mylo go crystal hunting in the first place? If the crystals only gave him ~$1,000, and that's all he needed f...

Wow Quinton, you're good. How many tries did it take?

Is there a tile missing? That one jump from right to left is pretty difficult. I've yet to pull it off.

If its a vorticons mod, the artwork should still be okay. You just have to recode the tiles, which shouldn't take *too long*. Don't know what it would involve for a galaxy mod though. I discovered some time ago that if I use tileinfo, if I export the data and then save the data, I will definitely co...

Your hardest secret I found for the first time a couple years ago. Even with the help of the maps on the keen wiki I had trouble figuring out how to get there. Originally, I was convinced that that was the way into the Pyramid of the Forbidden, until eventually I found the real way to get there (whi...

Wait are you downloading all of these and saving them to your hard drive?

I'll cheat run race you, Levellass! Interested?

I think Jennifer would be a good name. Her Mort adversary could be a Kenneth. Then we have Jenny and Kenny, Kenny and Jenny!!!

I also like Julia, but I'm saving that for a kid.

A long time? What do you mean exactly? The Xkykeen run in total was only ~23 minutes. I didn't rush through it, but then again I had no idea what I was doing.

If you're asking me why it took so long in between my keen 4 run and this, it didn't. I did the Xkykeen run all in one day, Saturday.

I think I would actually prefer non-glitched runs. It takes a lot of planning and skill to do a run without glitches. If you look at the 100% run of Mario 64 - I think its all 120 stars in roughly four hours - its amazing some of the stuff that the player pulls off, all without abusing one glitch.

I was trying to beat Levelack's high scores and failing. Eventually I got bored and decided, hey, lets go and try to sneak through a mod without shooting! So I looked through my mods for something that looked like it would be fun to pacifist through but not be impossible, and I decided on Xkykeen. R...

I tried it on hard with saving. It can be beaten with a minimum of 6 shot slugs. Funnily enough, the bridge switch part was really easy and only required shooting one slug. Its very much luck based whether someone succeeds or not. If any of the slugs turn at the wrong moment, you're trapped. I think...

I added an annotated commentary to the videos in case anyone's interested.

Just letting you know.
