A little bit late response, but here it goes: It's finally out in the public!
Just thought this deserves a separate topic (cont. from viewtopic.php?p=87634#p87634).

To anybody a little bit stuck or confused, use the "Backspace" key to
toggle on/off the scorebox from the game, and Alt+Up to throw grenades
(assuming you didn't mess with the keyboard settings). Also,
check out the ORIGINAL/README2.TXT file for more
caveats and other notes.
I intend to write/show a bit more on the technical side of
things (including the originally corrupted EGAGRAPH data),
but it's probably better to do so in a separate post.
The RELEASE.TXT file shall still have something
for you to read, though.
==================
Let me say the following:
I must emphasize that this couldn't be done just by myself.
Thanks to Jim Norwood, 3D Realms and Hendricks for getting the ball rolling!
Wait, a longer credits list? I'm sure that I'll miss *someone* around here.
This is why I shouldn't do this...
I apologize in advance. Anybody who deserves the credits, no matter
if listed here or (APOLOGIES!) not - here, I'm sending them to you!
...You *still* want a list? Oh well, since you've asked for it:
- First of all, thanks to Jim Norwood and 3D Realms for the game itself!
Let's add Robert Prince for the game's sound track, of course!
- id Software, for the codebase that powers Keen 4-6, later
licensed to Jim Norwood for the making of Bio Menace.
- John Carmack, John Romero, Jason Blochowiak, Adrian Carmack, Tom Hall
and Mark Rein for their involvements with id Software during the development
of Keen 4-6, along with Robert Prince for the sound track.
- Jim Norwood and 3D Realms, for giving the green light for the release of
this prototype, along with Hendricks for his involvement with me and others.
- Frederik Schreiber, Joe Siegler and TerminX for their parts in this release.
- Yatta for the creation of Duke4.net, and Geoff Sims for founding
the message board that eventually became the PCKF.
- Special thanks to Lunick, Roobar, MYHOUSE.MAP and Malvineous
for their feedbacks on the prototype.
Finally, thanks to the Duke4.net and PCKF communities for all of these years!
