If that's the ending you get in the registered version, then, wow. Never knew.
The Viking II lander actually did land on a 'rock' on Mars.

It's not. :) Notice the video's description:
I used a gif from johnromero.com that was drawn by Adrian Carmack but never used in the game.
There were some graphics posted there, I can't understand why the garg I didn't save them when I saw them, I'll try to find them again... Or then I saved but can't remember where...

I'm interested if they really had some plans for Commander Keen Meets the Meats, or if it was just a joke.

Cool, can you upload them somewhere? :begging

Edit: For example to KeenWiki, so they could be added to some article, that'd be the best. ;)

Hey, I remember that animated gif from a loooong time ago! I'd forgotten about it. And yes, KeenWiki sounds like a good place for it.

Definitely not.

I'm not going to put them on Wiki myself but I will try to upload them today.

Big thanks. :) I can't understand why they didn't use those ending pictures, it would've been so much better. The text-only eding wasn't very rewarding, was it?

I'm pretty sure that they didn't use it because Keens face looks very strange in these pictures.

Probably the same foolish reason the music was scrapped.

lol not just his face, but his hands look weird too. If that's an attempt at making shadows I think the Keen artists could do better. But if it's just to look weird then uh good job.

btw what are those 2 veggies supposed to be?

Some weird broccoli/peapod combo, and an early version of the squash, as far as I can tell. I don't remember seeing those two pictures before, thanks Djaser.
