That...does make more sense than what I said.

I am a , clearly.

please tell me that you know this? discovered it by chance... not sure what I was watching:

It's from Shilor

I don't know if I've seen that one, but Shilor's done a few things like that. Kudos to him

Has anyone ever wondered whether Keen 4's screen might be inspired by the "Back to the Future" advert posters?! just saying...

... I mean: Delorean, BwB? c'mon...

Let's be fair, though: the BwB Megarocket is a LOT easier to repair, because it takes off-the-shelf parts...

What, Mr Fusion isn't off-the-shelf enough for you?

A viable hypothesis, Nisaba. With all the sci-fi references in Commander Keen (Terminator intro, Star Wars story text, to name a few) I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case.

Easier than the DeLorean, sure, but the parts are only guaranteed to be off-the-shelf as long as you're on Earth.

True, true...

HORY SHUG you're right! I've always kind of thought of that in the back of my mind, but my mind is truly blown

Well, I was waiting to see if this guy would post about this here, but after this long I doubt he's going to.
Has anyone else seen this? It's a Keen 1 mod, released just after Insalevs3, on ModDB.

Should there be a topic about this?

Haha what a find. This should definitely get its own topic!

The most interesting thing about this mod is that it has been released outside of our community, which doesn't happen often, if ever. This is strange given that the guy should have been here to download the mod tools and read some tutorials about modding and also promoting it.. But also he has not credited anyone from here, neither he mentioned any of the tools he used.

Also, although it is only January, this makes it the second Vorticons mod released this year (which already makes the beginning of this year epic), although technically, it is a last year mod.

Or... maybe.... he created functional modding tools entirely independently of the core Keen community. Or... maybe we are the obscure offshoot...
