Misconceptions

I also thought " " was either Keen drinking a soda or blowing bubblegum, until I saw the name "foot in mouth".

the Perilous Pit was absolutely some kind of odd-shaped dirt cylinder

Its not??

You should see this thread: viewtopic.php?t=3039 . There were a few attempts to correct it, although some of the images there are dead.
LOL, the real question is, did anyone here actually see the Perilous Pit as it was intended?

Well, after I grew up and learned English, I could actually understand the level name. Then I looked carefully at the graphics, and from then, I saw it really like a hole in the ground.
Earlier, when I was a small kid, it seemed for me to be a... piece of meat? Probably the craziest idea ever mentioned here.

Well... now I remember some things.

I allways thought that Flect held some sort of metal rod instead or being his theet, until I saw him stunned.

I remember thinking thas SGA texts were written in japanese. (Probably because I was a kid)

Princess Lindsey was keen girlfriend? I always wanted that to be real because I thought she was cute... so I was happy with the end of keen 9

I thought Spindred was a top...

I remember my dad playing keen 4...

Skypests were "moscas verdes" (green flies)

So... for last...

I never undesrtood the sprite of the gem holder with the gem already placed on it. Later, I realized that it was the holder with the gem on it...

When I first saw Keen die in the Vorticon Trilogy, I thought he had been decapitated, not noticing his shoes at the bottom which instead meant he had been squashed almost flat.

That's exactly the same thing I used to think!

It's a pretty odd animation - I suspect a lot of people have been confused over the years.

In Keen 4's ending, when Keen makes weird faces, I thought Keen was sarcastically saying "And this is what they look like" before making stupid faces to make fun of the shikadi, but I recently found out it's actually the oracle that said that, and Keen was just reacting to something we don't get to see. My life is ruined.

I think I always saw it as a mound with doors in it. Pretty sure it was only after I started modding and studied the graphics more closely that it occurred to me it was meant to be a hole in the ground.

[nanomekia]

Mound with doors for me too. Even looking at it now, I still find it extremely hard to parse that as a pit!

[entropicdecay]

I think I always thought it looked like a barrel? Don't recall super well.

[CHOCOLATE MILK]

I too used to think the pit was a brown building or possibly a beehive.
