Look at the oldwarez list. Commander Keen 3 is still sold, therefore Abandonia can unfortunately not host it.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Yup, that's official.

Well I got all Commander Keen full versions. My favorite is probably Commander Keen 6: Aliens Ate My Babysitter. Great games :ok:

I'm trying to remember... which Keen had the paintings at the end of the levels?

[the keen]

im sure it wasnt the episode 3 ...

Paintings? Do you remember were those paintings in the first three Keens (1-3) or the last three Keens (4-6)? Oh, and there is also the fan made Keen; Commander Keen In Keen Dreams.

Paintings? At the end of all the levels? Or just some?

There might have been paintings in the castle in Keen Dreams.

Or there could have been paintings in the houses in Keen 3.



Anyways Keen 3 is probably my favourite in the series. You even get to ride around on that.. thing in the water! And discover the intergalactic alphabet.

Keen Dreams wasn't actually fan-made. It's made by Softdisk rather than Apogee though. It came out between Keen 3 and Keen 4, and you can see that the improved graphics from Keen Dreams were kept in Keen 4. Many people consider Keen Dreams to be 'Keen 3 and a half'. Gameplay is pretty different though, with no pogo and the whole 'turning your enemies from vegetables into flowers' thing...

Anyways it's not quite an 'official' part of the series, but it's more than a fan-made game, and it was the first keen game to have the kinda angled '3d' platforms that were in 4-6.

that.. thing in the water![/b]Messie! :P

I'm in dubio about whether I prefer Keen 3 or 4. Keen 3 was fun, strangely real, and very hard at times (in all respects the culmination of the first trilogy), but Keen 4 had some very interesting level designs and some vastly improved controls. Keen 6 was nice too, but not really that much of an improvement.
Keen 1 and 2 I can regard equally. They're different, it evolves from 1 to 2, but it hasn't reached it's peak yet.

I've been playing through the games again for the last few weeks, by the way :)
