Commander Keen: 13 Years Later
16977 writes "I just noticed that Id Software is now selling downloadable versions of its classic titles Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons and Goodbye Galaxy. Although the game is over 10 years old by now, there is still a thriving community of Keen fans out there whose interest has not waned. We now have level editors for both Keen Vorticons and Goodbye Galaxy, unofficial Keen fan software, and of course the infamous Dopefish, which has by now made cameo appearances in well over a dozen computer games. However, we have yet to see Commander Keen: The Universe is Toast, the sequel to the previous Keen game that was planned but never made. With the original developers pursuing their own independent projects, it doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon. But in the meantime, die-hard Keen fans have been getting by, not unlike Farscape fans after their show was cancelled."
Calling someone an idiot on slashdot uncalled for. That show's a lack of
maturity on your part, now go sit in a corner and think about what you just
said.
And if you think Id is sugar coated candy and spice that gives and gives, think
again. Read my post
here on this
very same article. Id is just as corporate and as greedy as any other
corporation. Just because they make the coolest games and contributes stuff to
open source, doesn't mean they're not in it for the money. Shame you got a +1 modifier.
