raatorotta Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 So, does anyone remember good old Commander Keen, the savior of galaxies? Commander Keens are platform games made by ID software and puplished by Apogee. Keens 1-3 were made 1990 and 4-6 and Dreams in 1991. I used to play Keen a lot, i had Keen 4, Keen 6 and Keen Dreams (aka Keen 7) on 386 pc. They were one of first pc games i played.Later i have played them all Keens, from 1 to 7 and also fan-made Keen 8, that fits in Keen gamefamily really well. Here is site of Keen games: http://www.commander-keen.com/ Keen 1 and Keen 4 are downloadable at site. There is also Keen 6 and Dreams demos. http://www.commander-keen.com/screenshots/keen4/5.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faifh Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 One of game in the series made a permanent damage to me. You got some bombs, which I just used as I got them. However, at the end boss you were supposed to have kept them all! :( Since then I keep hording any potions or 1-time ups and never use them anymore as I go :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialsymbol Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 So, now that the topic is there I have a question: In Commander Keen 4 there was a level, either Pyramid or Crystal, where there was a long line of life drops below. I think you could get on a moving platform and collect them all effortless. And I also think I managed to do this once. Or did I dream it?Anyway, I don't remember how to get there. Guess it was from another level, not the one where you saw it in. Has anyone any idea what I'm talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raatorotta Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Yes, I remember level with those life potions and drops at the bottom of level. I never got them though, so i don't know how to get there. Maybe entrance was in that hidden pyramid that you needed to fly with a giant foot. Not sure though.
