Keen 6 Value

Sooo.. sitting in my closet is a complete copy of Keen 6. I have the box (slightly crushed, but in decent shape), 2 3.5" floppies and a registration card. I found a copy on ebay for $300!! They aren't actually going for that amount are they??

Wow, that's awesome! I'd hang on to it if I were you, but I'm sure you could never go wrong with extra cash instead (they are indeed going for that much).

And welcome to the forums!

Thanks... I bought it brand new at Software ETC long long ago, just found it again after 15 years!

Grab disk images of the floppies before you let it go, so we can archive an original copy!

I will definitely try if I can find a computer with a working floppy drive!

It's not straight up Keen 6, but I got my copy of id Anthology for $46 USD a few months ago. Yay!

(If anyone is wondering, yes, it comes with only the CGA version of Keen 6, and yes, the Keen 6 CGA->EGA converter/patch does work on this version

- I stumbled across this tool while browsing around in files.keenmodding.org)

I was also looking out for Keen 6 itself (like the one you have here, mschafe), but the only one I could find at the time was $99.

Upgrade and downgrade patches for id anthology!

Well I paid 280$ for keen 6 but I think 300.00$ is way too much...

Do you have the manual mschafe?

Also can you make 600 dpi scans of your box?

Your box is in better condition than mine and I'm trying to get a better pic of this.

This just reminds me of that copy I could've acquired many years ago from a local computer store that ended up getting thrown out instead.

Scan in the manual! I wanna read it.
Please?

That's what I'm after too, if you can, could you scan in just that logo at 1200 or higher? (Stupid I know, I just want it REALLY big)

I wanted to resize and crop the last 300 / 600 DPI scans but my old computer didn't have enough memory to process it and ended up crashing when it loaded. (in the sense the computer's hard drive started grinding immediately and wouldn't stop for like half an hour, so I reset it.)

Now that I have many GB of RAM I want to post-edit the scans.

(Does anyone still have those other box scans?)

The keen6 box I have doesn't have the same artwork. Instead it's got a game screenshot of keen jumping in front of the recreation centre shooting a blooguard. Maybe it's the canadian version or something...

The lesson we learn is, save your old games for when the rent is due.

I'm not sure if I have the manual or not, will check when I get home from work. Anyways, I'd be happy to scan in the box or whatever else people want. I'm a huge Keen fan, first game I EVER played on my brand new 286 (Keen 1!).. I still play them via DosBox often.

Can you please take a pic of your cover art? I'm intrigued....
