That's only sensible because it's the other sensible order in reverse. But yes, point taken.

I'm actually looking into doing a game review of the first episode. Commander Keen was my favorite series as a kid, so I'm hoping this might introduce people to the game.

Absolutely! Good luck, Harpuia. I look forward to just such a video.

On my part, I was on pace to finishing a mod for the anniversary and another for Christmas, but I'll have to postpone both until March 14th, which is only a few months away. I've been spending most of my time building a massive music machine (triple tier keyboards, foot pedals, drum pads, etc.).

Thanks! It's uploading right now. I'll post it on a new thread when it's ready to go. :)

Afraid not, but this post from Tom Hall is the most public request I've seen for them, as well as for the IP:

"LET’S GET SOME KEEN ON EVERYBODY! And ZENIMAX, it’s been 25 YEARS. Can I have Keen back? Well. doesn’t hurt to ask. At LEAST release the Keen 4-6 source, okay? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_ ... =786100424"

What? This link is broken:

Btw, the surprise from Tom Hall is a Mario Maker Commander Keen level: https://twitter.com/ThatTomHall/status/ ... 6142946306

Someone, who owns a wii u, please make a video of it. By the screenshot, I don't see anything Commander Keen related though.

Now, remember when you thought that 20... more like, 10 years, was considered a long time? http://legacy.3drealms.com/fanstuff/keenstory/

Unfortunately, I don't think I have much to show (i.e., release). Good there's enough we can all check out, though!

Regarding that Facebook post, I don't know what happened to it, but it looks like very similar contents (if not the same) were posted by Hall on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MarioMaker/com ... y_heres_a/

You can't see anything Commander Keen related? I guess you haven't played in a while or you just don't recognise the geometry in a different tile set :p

Romero has released a video of the Super Mario Bros. 3 demo https://vimeo.com/148909578

Great video Flaose, one of the true elders of the Keen Community. The tale is well-told, a great celebration of the anniversary.

Very nice video, Flaose! My only criticism would be KD was also ported to Linux and Mac ;)

If you're keen on doing another Keen video (hurr hurr), you should do one on the history of modding the game... though that might be too niche for your audience.

wiivn, how about this? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... 424&type=3 You would have to be friends with Tom Hall on Facebook to see it.
