Commander Keen 5 - The Armageddon Machine [SOLD]

[Gretar]

cc11 was some kind of a mining game, youre character had a gun which he used to shoot something, I dont remember him very wll, long time since I played him!

Ken, this game I loved! Youre character had this jump-stick which he used to jump, he also got a gun and his mission was toll collect dimonds ore some.

Anyways I love this site, old memories popping up as you see an old game you used to play, but if you could get those two games I would bee extreamly happy :D

That'd be Crystal Caves 1 and Commander Keen.

They were fun games.

They're still on sale at 3D Realms (http://store.yahoo.com/3drealms/dowit.html), so they won't be up here anytime soon.

Commander Keen were great games...

Just loving those games :ok:

Actually, Episode 6 might be an exception. That was published by FormGen rather than Apogee, and FormGen don't seem to exist any more. Although Keen 6 is listed at id Software's store (here (http://www.idsoftware.com/games/vintage/commanderkeen/index.php?game_section=overview)), it's not available for purchase.

Those games are warez. That means they're still being sold.

Ég get fundi? ?á fyrir ?ig seinna ;)

I though first eh was talkin about Ken's Labyrinth. Ins't keen keen4?

[Tuttle]

Ken's Labyrinth never had a pogo stick. :)

There were 7 Commander Keen games.

Keen 1, 2 and 3 formed a series (Invasion of the Vorticons) with Keen 1 available as shareware and the others available commercially. They're still sold by 3D Realms and id Software.

Kenn 4 and 5 formed another series (Goodbye Galaxy) with Keen 4 available as shareware and Keen 5 available commercially. They're also still sold by 3D Realms and id.

Keen 6 (Aliens Ate My Babysitter) had a 3 level demo and a commercial version. The commercial version was actually owned by FormGen (instead of simply being resold as Keen 4 and 5 were), so Apogee and iD don't offer it for sale. FormGen no longer exist.

Keen Dreams was kind of a weird one thrown together to satisfy a contract, and is owned by SoftDisk. It can be bought here (http://www.digitalriver.com/dr/v2/ec_MAIN.Entry10?xid=240&SP=10023&PN=1&V1=11774).

Apparently not. http://www.3drealms.com/keenhistory/keenhistory2.html:One last note about Keen 6.* At the moment, there is no legal way to obtain the game - it was a retail game by FormGen that Apogee merely resold the title.* As FormGen doesn't exist anymore, the game has been discontinued, and for now, there is no legal way to obtain Keen 6 (save for the 3 level demo which was created to promote Keen 6).
I did some more looking into FormGen: FormGen were acquired by GT Software.
GT Software became GT Interactive.
GT Interactive were acquired by Infogrames.
Infogrames started using the Atari brand.
So Keen 6 is currently owned by Atari.
