keen 9

Dear members,
Last week I tried to run a keen 9 from free download. But I'd need a keen5e.exe file for running this. My version of keen5e.exe from year 1991 has no compatibility. Only possibility to run keen 9 is to purchaise a full keen set (versions 1 - 5). My task is that I'd like to have only one but full version of keen 9 which works without purchaising the other versions of keen.
Is anywhere a possibility to buy or get this full version?
Thank you for your answer.
Shelly

I have no idea what just happened in this topic, but it seems to have satisfied.

shelly needed the right version of Keen to play the mod - had one version, but it wasn't the right one.

wiivn posted a link to a pirated version of Keen 5 and then covered it up before anyone but shelly noticed. Problem solved.

Ah, didn't notice the link had been deleted. Raises a question: It isn't piracy if it's just a later version of the game you already own, right? The Keen updates were free anyway IIRC.

Not really. That's why we've stickied the Keen Upgrades/Downgrades thread at viewtopic.php?t=21 but people forget about that for some reason. Oh well.

Uh... yes it is. Same as you can't defend ripping a movie by going 'But I already have it on DVD!' The logic applied is the same as if you stole a car to have a second one, you should have bought the second copy no matter how closely related. Not everyone likes this, but that's current US law.
