Indeed, sadly due to the limitations of my talent I was unable to muster anything more than a pale imitation of our great work.

That post is a work of art. I am truly humbled that you put such effort into reviewing my work. It is not the review I wanted, but the review we all deserve.

Reading all these posts on how amazing it is, I got this urge to try it but it seems my memories of how to play modded Commander Keen games has fallen into oblivion.. I get this "Missing a text file..." error. What am I doing wrong?

(also if anyone remembers me: I never left, I've just been a really good lurker..

You're supposed to use dosbox.

To elaborate in further detail, you are supposed to mount your c drive in dosbox to the folder you need to navigate to colander ken with this command:

Code: Select all

-> mount c [insert path location here]
-> c:
c: -> cd [path to colander ken folder]
c:\[folders]\COLANDER ->

Then you start colander ken with this command:

Code: Select all

COLANDER.BAT

I even found a trope that sums up this mod.

I would highly argue with the "10/10" rating.

This mod is too good to be rated a meager 10/10.
A rating that would better fit its magnificent splendor is...
*gulp*
314/314.

I wouldn't give 10 for this mod at all. (Even if I helped for Levellass, which I did with delight.)

314 is not enough. I'd rather give it 31415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209...Ã¢Ë†Å¾ out of Ã¢Ë†Å¾.

Well, what's your verdict, ZidaneA. Did you enjoy it as thoroughly as the rest of us?

It's not a question of whether you give it a 10, it's how many POWERS of 10 you give it! I'd say this mod earned 10^314^314/10.

It's ok Szemi, you worked on this, you had time to get used to its magnificence. This is a big problem with modding; sometimes you release things that new players can't get through because you as the designer know every level by heart and it seems so easy to you. Sometimes you get really enthused about something only for it to fall flat. In the end I think those who make something may be the worst people to judge its worth.

Also, it's bonfire night tonight, hurrah!

Actually I immediately fix the problems. See: Martinez 4.

But what I said doesn't mean I hate your mod.

Don't fix what isn't broken!
