Keen Upgrades/Downgrades thread

Post by DaVince »

I wanted to copy and paste the first post in the old patches thread, but somehow it's gone now? I'm requesting for this to be posted here, please...
EDIT: Thanks, Flaose! This should help people. :)

Edited by Flaose:
It was in the thread called "Keen Official Games Thread" stickied at the top. Weird name.


Here we go, this is a series of downloads for all legal ways to get Keen:

Edited by Fleexy, 2020: The links in the original post are now dead. This archive, repacked from a RAR uploaded to MediaFire by Apocalypse Gohan, contains copies of all mentioned files. However, I have no way to verify the authenticity or safety of the executables. Use at your own risk. The original content of this post follows below the line.

I meant patches as in version patches, though. Like Keen 1.1 > 1.4. This is not really Modding related, just Official Keen related.

We had a big topic about this in the old PCKF, but I can't find it anymore for some reason.

And last time I checked, dosclassics.com was being uncooperative. You can get some of the patches at files.keenmodding.org.

[Edit] Here are the individual patches:

Keen 1 version 1.31
Keen 2 version 1.1 to version 1.31
Keen 3 version 1.1 to version 1.31
Keen Dreams version 1.13

You should rename the thread to something less misleading. We all think of *those* patches when we say patches. What about *upgrades*/*downgrades*?

Upgrades/downgrades sounds better. I'll edit the title.

Hmm, wasn't there some thread on the old pckf of all these obscure, weird Keen 1 versions? 1.3, 1.4, I don't know what else--I'm checking now.

[Edit] Yeah, it's Keen 1 version 1.0 (beta?) and version 1.34, and some weird Aliens demo version with the yorps' signs saying "????" instead of "DEMO". And the ega and cga version of the Precision Software release of Keen 4.

Hm, there's not actually a place to download Keen1 1.34, just a link to mobygames. Oh well, I have now downloaded four new versions of Commander Keen. I'll probably eventually upload them to CKFS, which is less likely to randomly disappear than whatever the files are hosted on now.

[Edit again] Oh, and the old PCKF thread on all of this.

Keen 1
version 1.0
version 1.3
version 1.34

Hosted on my CKFS, instead of the less-than-desirable megaupload. Hopefully these will get onto files.keenmodding.org or Beyond the Pogo at some point.

Somebody know if that 1.4 patch for Keen 6 is legit or some fanmade hack? I didn't think that game ever made it beyond 1.0.

Edit - Same for Keen v1.34. Both Apogee and id are selling 1.31, so I don't think that one's quite legit.

If they're fanmade, I wanna meet that fan, 'cause they seem to have the source code. ;)

EDIT/UPDATE/WHATEVER
All of these are now available from my website here.
I have removed the files from my CKFS to save grafix money.


Here is everything this thread re-upped to my CKFS, because Megaupload is not so desirable and Spatang is fickle.

version 1.0
version 1.1
version 1.3
version 1.31
version 1.34

Keen 2
patch version 1.0 to 1.31
patch version 1.31 to 1.0

Keen 3
patch version 1.0 to 1.31
patch version 1.31 to 1.0

Keen 4
Keen 4 Special Demo Version (Beta)
version 1.0
version 1.1

version 1.0 CGA
version 1.1 CGA

Keen 5

patch version 1.0 to 1.4
patch version 1.0 to 1.0 CGA
patch the CGA Keen 6 from the ID anthology to version 1.0 EGA

Keen Dreams

patch version from id Anthology to 1.0
patch version 1.93 REV 1 to 1.0
patch version 1.92 REV 0 to 1.0
patch version 1.0 to 1.92 REV 0
patch version 1.92 REV 0 to 1.93 REV 1
patch version 1.93 REV 1 to the id Anthology version

If any links don't work, it's probably because I made a typo somewhere - a distinct possibility. Very distinct. If anyone wants this whole collection so they can upload them anywhere else (more official, perhaps, than my CKFS) I'd be happy to email them one big zip file. (12 whopping megs of official Keen goodness!)

(edit) Eh ... here it is on sendspace. I don't want to take up too much space on my CKFS. I think this link will remain active as long as the file is downloaded at least once a week. So if you want it, grab it now, 'cause it probably won't last for very long. If it's gone, let me know and I'll re-up it. So that 'email me' thing is kinda obsolete.
