Why is keen1.exe not included anymore? Including keens 2, 3, 5 and 6 is illegal, but not keens 1 and 4.

And just because I've removed Keen1.exe, it's such a big problem? Seriously, you should be happy instead of complaining because of the lack of Keen1.exe, which is a minor problem in my opinion.


@Levellass: False, moreover a question: Is that a problem if I respect the copyright?

@StupidBunny: I think you have Keen1.exe, so don't complain anymore, go and copy your Keen1.exe to the mod folder to play.

@Scarlet: I did, so theme's closed.

Minor? You can't play the mod without the exe. :confused

But if you have already downloaded Keen1, you can copy Keen1.exe to the mod folder to play.

All we're saying is that it's very strange that you didn't include it. Of course we can copy and paste it ourselves, but what reason did you have for not including it in the first place? My best guess is that you thought that including Keen1.exe was illegal (which it definitely isn't, since Keen 1 is emphatically shareware) and chose not to include it for that reason. Beyond that I can't come up with any thought process that would have led to you not including it.

I'd suggest you reupload it with the .exe file, but trying to argue things like this with you is usually an uphill battle and it honestly is a fairly minor point anyway. I'll give the mod a try.

Today I gave this mod a quick playthrough. It's fairly decent, I loved the graphics - they're marvelous. Especially the point items and tiles. The fries remind me of Prehistoric 2 :) Anyone wanna make a mod with huge 4-tile pickups?
However, the game itself seemed way too easy. I never experienced a lack of ammo or ran out of lives. You should probably put less point items and less ammo in your levels next time, and more killing enemies. The actual enemies weren't bad (I really liked the ice foobs), shame they behaved almost the same as the original versions. I didn't know that though, and it was sort of hard to tell which enemies kill you and which don't. The garg replacements (seals probably?) caught me by surprise since they looked relatively harmless.
Overall, this is a pretty good mod at least for me. Keep up the good work and good luck in your future projects. :)
