"Previews" section of Keen1

Post by Toomuchsparetime »

COMING SOON FROM ID SOFTWARE
As our follow-up to the Commander Keen trilogy, id Software is working on 'The Fight for Justice', a completely new approach to fantasy gaming. You start not as a weakling with no food--you start as Quake, the strongest, most dangerous person on the continent. You start off with a Hammer of Thunderbolts, a Ring of Regeneration, and a trans-dimensional artifact. Here the fun begins. You fight for Justice, a secret organization devoted to vanquishing evil from the land! This is role-playing excitement.

And you don't chunk around the screen. 'The Fight for Justice' contains fully animated scrolling backgrounds. All the people you meet have their own lives, personalities, and objectives. A 256-color VGA version will be available (smooth scrolling 256-color screens --fancy that)!

And the depth of play will be intense. No more "whack whack here's some gold". There will be interesting puzzles and decisions won't be "yes/no" but complex correlations of people and events. 'The Fight for Justice' will be the finest PC game yet.
The game ended up becoming Quake, but as you can see, it was vastly different from the description in Keen1's "Previews" section.

I think I would like to make a game entitled "Whack Whack Here's Some Gold" someday. :lol

Make sure your weakling-with-no-food character chunks around the screen and makes lots of yes/no decisions throughout the game.

TMST! That was a totally pertinent remark! :p

The Quake 1 engine was actually kind of trashy. Not like I could do better but still.

Lets to a forum wide contest in "What-Quake-Was-Not" RPG making!
