One of the first titles we played on our first PC. Flippy disk and DOS!
Almost unbelievable that they went on creating Doom.
Rock on IDsoftware

Impostor!! Flippy disk? Pshh....
CloseupCaptionReaction
We also had a floppy drive, but the flippies were ... easier to handle. Let alone the disk storage boxes!

The feelings when playing this game!

I thought I was the only one who remembered this game! Was just thinking about this and other Apogee hits the other day. Crystal Caves?

This is neat.

That sound makes me feel like a kid. I hear it and suddenly i can smell the basement we had the PC in and hear the clicky clacky keyboard...
GoddamnCaptchas
I loved it. One day I played it for 6 hours straight, went to bed right after... the pogostick noise played through my head all night :D

"Flippy disc" actually sounds way cooler than "floppy disc"

In Africa we called them flippies. At least our dad did. Floppy disks = big. Flippy = small.

He is canonically a descendent of Doomguy and BJ Blaskowics

Does anyone know if keen dreams had an actual ending? I think mine bugged out after the potato castle.
AleksandrBlazkowicz
Fun fact, Commander Keen is related to Doom guy and BJ Blazkowicz
TheFawxGuy
Damn I remember playing this years ago

TheSpanishInquisitor
Loved this game. And to think he's an ancestor of Doomguy (and a descendant of Wolfenstein's protagonist).
WoeToHice
Oh, yeah, Mr. 314?
TheSpanishInquisitor
They're all called "William J. Blazkowicz", although they were known by their nicknames (like "Billy Blaze" on Commander Keen).
WoeToHice
I know, I was just making a Mortimer McMire reference.
TheSpanishInquisitor
Oh, OK. I had no idea.
WoeToHice
Main villain. Keeps making fun of Billy, because Billy scored 314 on IQ test and Mortimer scored 315.

YESSSS! Played this all the time as a kid
GanjaminDanklin

Holy crap! Other people know about this game?!

My single uncle had this game on his laptop back in the early 90's and let me play when I visited. Could never figure out why he bought it.
CloseupCaptionReaction
Yeah dude! I'm so surprised that so many strangers know this game! Pure happiness! I didn't expect so my upvotes or comments!

Favorite thing about my grandparents' house.

With exception of 2 & 3 ('til they were freeware), I played all the PC games. I feel that the games stagnated after Keen 5, (1/2)
Sojourna
with 6 & Keen Dreams being... OK. Read once that a GameBoy for Keen was made, but poorly received. Real shame what became of Commander Keen.
dragon1freak
Been reading Masters of Doom, had no idea what iD did for the PC gaming world, always just thought it was doom, John Carmack is a genius

Developed by ID published by Apogee software. Apogee had many good games published back then. Welcome to the early ages of gaming.
thetimewarptrio
Keen 1 is the best and i will not accept any other answers!
awfuladvice
Uhhhhhhh keen dreams??
PokingSmot
Keen 1 was so tough, that fucking eyeball monster...
LadyWidebottom
I prefer Keen 4 because the music is awesome.
Orselias
For those that may not know, they're on steam.

If what you say is true, I know what I'm going to do tonight
ZeFrenchCanadian
this and crystal caves
Daishudo
This game is great. So happy they released on steam
WoeToHice
My personal ranking is: Keen 2, Keen 3, Keen 1, Keen 4, Keen 5. I pretend that Keen Dreams and Keen 6 were never made :P

I understand your taste,but people have different opinions.
