Hello!
Firstly, I'm new here so hello!
I'd like to know is there any playable fan-made Commander Keens? Keen is definitely one of my most loved game from my childhood!
Thank you!
Is there any playable fan-made Commander Keens ?

Hey there Tseki! Always nice to see new keeners
A good place to look for fangames (as well as other keen-related downloads) is at CKGuy's site www.bipship.com
These are games built from scratch: http://www.bipship.com/fangames
(I STRONGLY recommend Dopefish Forever! )
These are mods of the original keen games (which are of higher quality of gameplay and the truest form of fanfiction): http://www.bipship.com/mods
Have fun keening!
EDIT: I happened to notice you're wanting to play ShadowCaster. I have the CD lying around somewhere, but after buying a new computer with craptacular vista the game doesn't work and DOSBox doesn't seem to help, so good luck finding that one

Hi. You can find a big collection of fan games here: http://www.dosclassics.com/keen/dl.php But to be frank, there aren't many fan games worth playing, or if there are then I just haven't come across them. You might instead want to look at some Keen mods. Most of them are very playable. You can find most of them (with screenshots) here: http://www.keeniverse.net/m.php (I should update but I'm too garg )
Edit: Too slow as always.

Yeah, for fangames I would definitely still recommend Xtraverse's site http://www.dosclassics.com/keen/dl.php because mine isn't up to snuff in the fangames department yet.
I have that one, and I couldn't get past the first room : P I really don't understand what to do. perhaps I'm going to try it again when I get my computer back.VikingBoyBilly wrote:EDIT: I happened to notice you're wanting to play ShadowCaster.
