I skipped Keen GBC in my list because I haven't played it enough.

Ditto here. I have, in fact, never played in my life--not because I have made a decision not to, I've just never owned a GBC and haven't been bothered to download an emulator for one yet.

I always enjoyed keen GBC when I was young, and I was quite good at it. I don't really see it as a bad game, just didn't have that same keen feel as the originals.

I agree with Bubbatom.
I owned a cartridge of Keen GBC, and I didn't think it was horrible.
The difficulty was very unbalanced, and it didn't feel much like a Keen game.
I don't consider it cannon, but rather a mediocre fan game.

I stand by what I posted before:
DHeadshot, in July 2010, wrote:I think a fairer poll would be to rank the Keen games in order from your favourite to least favourite. Mine would be:
Keen 4
Keen 1
Keen GBC
Keen 6
Keen 5
Keen Dreams
Keen 2
Keen 3
Actually, I'm tempted now to put Keen Dreams above Keen 5, but I'm not sure...

It's me. I'm the one that voted for Keen 2.

I stand by it. It was my favorite out of the first 3 for sure. Though I did like 4+5 quite a lot.
