Keen Manual Project

Post by BrainRain »

So I start another project, i tried to make a a box scan project, but it doesn't seems to do well, we are still missing the Keen Dreams scan. The manuals must be scanned in 300dpi, from the original manuals, no watermarked replacementdocs manuals or low quality crap from the web, it must be like my own scan from Keen 6 v1.5, just take a look how awesome it turned out :p
It's not for me it's for the community, this project and the box scans project too. Please support it if you got the stuff, because we love Commander Keen

So here's my Keen 6 Manual - Enjoy http://dl.dropbox.com/u/654238/Aliens_A ... Manual.zip

  • Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons [ ]
    Commander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy! [ ]
    Commander Keen 6: Aliens Ate My Baby Sitter! [ X ]
    Commander Keen: Keen Dreams [ ]

If I can find my Keen GBC manual, you'll finally have a full copy with no pages missing...

I'd really like to see the KeenDreams Manual, if there actually is one.

Oh, thank you so much. This is a really neat project and I think it would be cool if we could get the whole series.

By the way, I was unaware of your box scan project. Do you have a link to them?

I check these forums too infrequently it would seem. Thank you.

I was searching for my shoes this morning (we've just got back from holiday and not everything has been unpacked yet) and in the process I finally found my Keen GBC manual! I know that this is significant because the scans linked to by the Wiki, supposedly considered the only ones around, have half the pages missing! I'll scan it in when I get the chance...

Really neat idea - cereal of approval given :P

Does Keen 4 actually have a manual? It was shareware after all..... same for Keen 1....
Or was it included in the bundled pay-for-it distribution in a massive all-in-one manual? (for the series)

All I know is that it got some kind of hint sheet like Vorticons has.

Yeah that's the only manual kinda like thingy for Vorticons. You mean you got it on real paper, or just the crappy replacementdocs one?

If you got in in the paper format, we would like a scan in 300dpi :-)

I like the one on 3D Realms better than that replacementdocs one.

OK, my scanner's in the loft over the summer, so don't expect a scan for a while. However, here's a few quick teasers...

I'm still waiting for my copy of the GBC commander Keen to arrive. I'd love to read a scan of the manual!
