Description Commander Keen was one of my first PC games, and pretty much what got me interested in computers as a kid. I think I was his age when I first played this!

Lol I signed my name in the standard galactic alphabet.

Commander Keen was my childhood on the computer in kindergarten!! Love the artstyle too <3<3<3 Normally he is pale, as you know, and most fan arts I have seen of him with skin color just doesn't work.... but somehow you make it work

I wish CK6 was on steam, but I think Atari owns it atm and isn't selling it... except for that guy selling it on ebay for $100...

Thank you for the nostalgia. It's glorious. Keen was one of my first PC games too, back when computers ran DOS and PC games were small enough to pack onto floppies. Good times, good memories.

Ohh man, Commander Keen... Replaying it as a semi-cognitive adolescent - the love is still there. But there is sadness for not being able to play it with the same intensity and wonderment as a child. Whenever I replay games from my childhood, I am astounded at how much difficulty I had beating them.

Holy shit, the nostalgia. This was one of my first PC games when I was a small child~

Well well, I gotta say it's a nice piece. I just love the bright colours!

Well of course, the standard galactic alphabet was an obvious choice.

I really dig the style here, it harkens back to the oldschool designs of yore.

Hmmm I vaguely remeber an attempt to reboot Commander Keen on the gameboy color in either the late 90's and early 2000's but I never played the original. Still I do love this picture though.

Yeah, I seem to recall that too. I was like, Gameboy Color, eww... id seems to hate Commander Keen anymore, I should print this out and hang it on the wall by my desk.

Yyeeah it didn't seem like a pretty good adaptation. You should totally hang it up though.

Yankstone [2010-09-03 10:30:48 +0000 UTC]

This makes me really happy!

Keen was one of my earliest PC game memories as well.
But whenever I asked my dad if he could pull it up for me to play, he always thought I was talking about "King's Quest" because of the similarity of "Keen" and "King" in little kid dialect.

Then again, watching my dad work on PCs & build 'em & all that kinda junk also got me into computers. More "into" than most actually. xD
