Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons:

Episode 1: Marooned on Mars (Dec. 14th 1990)
Episode 2: The Earth Explodes (1991)
Episode 3: Keen Must Die! (1991)
Commander Keen's very first adventure, and the debut of id's groundbreaking side-scrolling technology. In the game you play the role of Commander Keen: the alter-ego of an eight year-old genius by the name of Billy Blaze. When Billy learns that the Earth is in danger, he dons his brother's football helmet and his homemade interstellar spaceship to become Commander Keen — Defender of the Earth!

Commander Keen in Goodbye Galaxy!:

Episode 4: Secret of the Oracle (1991)
Episode 5: The Armageddon Machine (1991)
You are eight-year-old Billy Blaze, boy genius to your neighborhood. Commander Keen to the rest of the universe. It's time to grab your trusty pogo stick and neural stunner, climb into the cockpit of your homemade Megarocket and blast off for the Shadowlands. To prevent the obliteration of life as we know it, you'll have to battle your way past deadly hazards and devious creatures, or end up as space toast.

    Nice, one of those decent games that can run on a 286

    • [Deactivated] on 29/12/2020 - 15:44

      Yeah, thank god for that.

        286? Luxury. This ran fine on my XT!

      I remember playng this on my Amstrad XT.
      8MHz 8086 with Adlib sound and a 2 button gameport joypad.
      Played it so much as a kid!
      All 5 of these games and episode 6 stayed on my 40MB HDD until the PC died.
      Ahh memories.

    Still rocking my original boxed copies of these. Good memories everytime I see it.

    The copy of keen4 we got when I was a kid (6-7) had jump bound to enter for some reason (which also displayed the scoreboard). We could only play certain levels with the pogo stick and had no idea jump existed for so long.

    I remember going into the settings and finding the issue. Was so nervous doing it as we would get in shit if we mucked around with dos or win31 settings (damn kids break everything). Gave us a break from busting keyboards playing street fighter for a while!

  • maskedmustelid on 29/12/2020 - 16:02

    Shame that the name's a misnomer, missing Keen Dreams and Commander Keen 6: Aliens Ate my Baby Sitter. Something something licensing or copyright.

    • dscaff82 on 29/12/2020 - 18:47

      Yeesh Keen Dreams.
      I remember that one.
      No pogo stick and throwing seeds at vegetable enemies to turn them in to flowers for a short period of time.
      Such an odd change to make coming from Keen 3.
      So glad they made Keen 4 after Dreams and brought the pogo stick back!
      You get to meet Dopefish for the first time too :)

  • PorterD on 29/12/2020 - 16:10

    Brings back memories of picking up a floppy disk at coles of one of these games. The nostalgia.

  • wazman67 on 29/12/2020 - 16:20

    Just one of the last time great game series, especially Keen 4 - I STILL reference the second largest sandwich in the universe from Chungella IV!! Sadly, being a Mac person I am disappointed it’s not supported by steam for Mac. If any smart people know how to work around this, I’d appreciate a heads up!

      Simple: throw the crap in the bin and get a PC.

      Or if you want the easier option, play in a browser. See my comment below.

    • Planky on 29/12/2020 - 17:35

      Pretty sure dosbox is available on Mac. It can run keen without issues.

      • memoryresident on 29/12/2020 - 23:46

        The PC Steam versions are just dosbox launchers, so not sure why this wouldn't be supported out of the box on Mac by Steam. If it's not it should definitely work with some minor tweaking. Doesn't rely on steam to run either, I have copied the game files to a non steam PC and they work just fine.

  • ozbargainer88 on 29/12/2020 - 16:38

    Keen 1 and 2 were the first games I ever played. Do not, I repeat DO NOT look up the "new Keen" game. It is a (profanity) travesty what they've done.

    Btw I'm pretty sure you can play them all for free in your browser at classicreload.com

      The mobile one? They cancelled it and removed all evidence of it ever existing, thankfully!

    Loved playing this as a kid till the weight of the world crushed my spirit

  • Freezies on 29/12/2020 - 17:15

    In mindblowing EGA.

    Loved the first two as a kid.

  • daydream on 29/12/2020 - 17:34

    Weren't these release as free/shareware from the start by the developer?

    • Planky on 29/12/2020 - 17:36
      +3

      Shareware. You still had to buy if you wanted the full game.

      • cannedhams on 29/12/2020 - 19:26

        Yep, I could never fork out more than $2.99 for a game so the first level was all I got.

  • BewareOfThe Dog on 29/12/2020 - 18:15

    These were great games.

    I used to download the latest versions of such games etc off the local BBSes, or grab them off Shareware CD's.

    When I worked for a major retailer @ 30 years ago(that is now history), I used to sell Shareware 3.5" floppies (on the side), which were cheaper than what they usually sold for in shops, and or had more. I set them up so they were bootable with a menu, but it became an issue when people had to save. Dolp!

    The nostalgia practically oozes. Had so much fun with these, such happy memories. Please bring back Leisure Suit Larry and Roger Wilco as well. Joy.

    Fun fact: Keen is the grandson of the main character from the original Wolfenstein games, and the father of the original Doom Marine.

    • jianh on 29/12/2020 - 23:27

      So, Wolfenstein 3D guy > unknown child > Keen > Doomguy ?

    I can't believe they charge people for commander keen

  • CheeryCheapskate on 30/12/2020 - 11:06

    Seeing this deal makes me want to buy Keen's helmet and a pogo stick.

  • Oofy Doofy on 30/12/2020 - 11:12
