Yes, this game has been for sale before, and it has nothing to do with our Commander Keen.

So is there a page with info on this game somewhere? It seems an odd co-incidence, one maybe worth Keenwiki-ing.

I recall seeing this in auction once, and the description referring to it as some sort of British audio programme...or maybe it was a British band. Either was, it was British and audio-based.

If I remember correctly.

I believe it was dossier on dmitri, which had a character named "Captain Keen" or something. I actually bought it, but it was pretty boring.

A year later, and I've found some more information. Looks like someone recently dumped a bunch of them at some Salvation Armies around the US, and a couple of people have uploaded screenies and info:

http://www.tweak3d.net/forums/showthrea ... ns-Trek-96

Too bad the download link on tweak3d is dead...

I guess it's just a clone of the old Star Trek game that decided to use the Commander Keen name to sell it....

Also it's apparently crap. :barf

That one's legit. I got keen 2, 3, and 5 from a disc like that. I'm not sure if its really rare though...

They're probably not even Keen fans... Just overheard the name somewhere and thought the same thing most band-douches think... "ZOMG WE SHOULD TOTALLY USE THAT".

Here's something fun to do... Think of the most random thing (but using common words... and 3 words or less) and type it in with BAND at the end into Google. There's usually a Myspace page or something that pops up.
