A random thought: is it possible that 314 is a reference to 3 1/4 floppies, and not pi?

Well I guess I have to thank to my brother Mark Zuckerberg, who introduced me to Keen. And while I was enjoying playing it and wasting time, he made Facebook

Yeah, they were called Auschwitz-Birkenau and BeÅ‚Å¼ec.

Wolfenstein was a prison building. I think you mean B.J. Blazkowicz.

Having never played the game and knowing only what I have been able to discern from this forum about it on one occasion many months ago, I feel I'm going pretty well.

I got Keen 5 from my dad's friend eons ago, along with every other DOS game I grew up with.

Grew up with it. I don't know where it came from or why, but if it hadn't been for Commander Keen 4, I would have been a different man.

my dad had Vorticons, my mum had galaxy.

later on dad showed me wolf3d and mum showed me doom.

i've grown up on iD software games and i'm very proud of that.

Commander Keen 5 and 6 were among many games that we got when we upgraded to Windows 95 for the first time.

When I was around 5 at age, I got the floppy discs for Keens 1,2,3,4 and 5 from my sis, who got them from a friend of hers. I remember being so excited about the previews of Keen 6 I saw at the info section of Keen 5 (I think that's where they appear, don't they?), although my imagination greatly twisted/exaggerated the memories of the previews.

For example I remember how I always thought the Bloog Dome was either part of a level or some hideous new monster.

1994 - My neighbour (then 14) got me (then 6) and my brother (then 9) into that game, and we fought over it every single day... Number #1 fave game for both of us. And that was 17 years ago. It was Commander Keen 4. A year later, my godparents got us Keen 5 and 6, then a year later was the first 3. Good times it was. Still my #1 fave game series to this day.
