I got "Error: Unrecognized version of KEEN5E.exe"

What does that mean?

/and whats with the random E?/

You need Keen5e.exe Version 1.4 - there were a few bug fixes etc. made to the game after its release I believe so that's why there are different versions.

The 'e' stands for EGA, which is a colour palette type I believe. There is also a CGA version which has fewer colours; the files for that one are called keen5c.exe.

I created a Home folder and edited the DosBox Autoexec to point to it. I then wrote a program to automatically generate batch files to mount certain folders on my machine when I need them. It works rather well...

For Keen 5? Buy it on Steam, or Google for one of the infinite abandonware sites...

Or just make use of the Keen Collective.

Actually, IIRC there's also a 1.0 to 1.4 patch around somewhere. Anyone got that to hand?
