[FullStrikeOG]

[AlirazaVideoGames]

what game is this?? never heard of it!

[TheWhiteFactor]

@AlirazaVideoGames a game i played when i was max 7 years old. Ran on MS-DOS if you can remember that OS.

[DavidIoanid7888]

that second level is obviously a robotic family table

[DavidIoanid7888]

you fuckin skipped the pepsi

[TheQhozt]

Why did i buy this game? O.o

[sasuke2007]

Nostalgia hits hard @__@



[SheepFreak2]

5:00 crushing that fella was such a nice feeling 

[kipteamproductions]

OMFG so thats how you beat the last guy?!?! Shoot the little rope above him? I remember rage quitting the game there 12 years ago, not even knowing it was the last level!

[FUALLPPL]

Remake commander keen series 2011!

[MrNinteenhundred]

0:23

PEPSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Allroundmoviemaker]

I come from the year 2011, a future far away and I will now easily beat this game, you primitive people of the early 90's.

[Jacen47]

This game was so fucking beast when I was a kid.

[CfFial]

i played this 11-12years ago wow!

[BrandiTW]

So nice game!! The best olg game ever! :X

[jeffdadude87]

I remember playing this at 7, and I would refer to a Vorticon as "Papa Dog".

[baldchicken11]

Lol God mode :D

[SAFORecruitment01]

REBOOT THE SERIES!!!

[freddeurban]

Ah, so many memories...

[TimedropStudios]

Now i feel like a chump...

[GenyaArikado]

It's nice to have a sound effect when you fall ^^ !

[GenyaArikado]

To think that John who was the programmer of this game is a rocket scientist.

[prowokator]

Reminds me of my childhood, so good memories, makes me sad and happy at the same time. Cheers for posting :)

[RHCPKK]

Nostalgia head-rush, I can seriously feel myself playing this game in years past with every single noise and sound  bringing up old things i thought i long forgotten about.

[kefje19]

Ive always played this

[marsgodofficial]

/watch?v=El3-B4cLt_c

[SheisseFicken]

This was probably my favorite game growing up. I miss it so much!

[Alphahumphrey2011]

I feel so old!

[TheThibaud77]

c'est un vrai speed run ?



[sowutifmahsnsux]

oh man, commander keen - among my earliest video game memories, how amazing it all was

[MrMrFreddy]

I got this game in id Software Super Pack but I don't very like it... probably I'm too young

[ppingpoong]

man...i used to piss my pants whenever i played this game as a kid

[SimsMoyal]

9 people never got to finish this gay

[SimsMoyal]

@SimsMoyal game* LOL

[MrCrazedinsane]

Those things at 2:53 used to care the crap out of me when I was 6... Ah, memories.

[petitegoule]

I was a little girl when I played this on my dad's computer. Oh good old memories... <3

[xidzenturres]

my first PC game second was DOOM :)

[DenimRojas]

@xidzenturres mine too lol

[omegakarnage]

I used to play doom 1 and 2 online with other peeps on the pc, but when we got to that level with the dead Comander Keen....I was the only one who knew about him.

[marcusbrons]

@omegakarnage I too was totally shocked to see a childhood protagonist mercilessly hung in that Doom level. And then I think you had to shot the corpse to finish the level?

[Arc111111]

4:30 That's ROB !

[HamburgMobile]

Unbeleavable, only one mistake in the hole game at 4:41! And the control of commander keen was not easy! I loved this game and played it as a kid for a long long time. Thx for uploading! Very nice!! :-)

[pianoremixer]

Was this game made by Apogee? sorry for my stupidness but it reminds me of duke nukem

[NOCARRIER416]

@pianoremixer It is. Apogee (later renamed to 3D Realms) did Commander Keen, Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein 3D, and Rise of the Triad (ROTT)

[bnbdrummer92]

@pianoremixer created by ID

[TheLeaflover]

Alien abuse!

[Oniaxus]

I used to play this at kindergarten too! :D So long ago! Saw it today I was like WOOOOT!

[FrogsGames]

Ah, memories :) I want the 90's back.

[DandySama]

the scene when he arrives home always scared me as hell!!! dunno why xDDD

i was too little and didn't like that house at night with that wheel swing hahahahahah omg...memories!!

[DrunkenViking77]

god..i LOVED this game....spent thousands of hours playing it...

[mito66]

Ah, memories.



[Neboh420]

This is the first game I ever got into on PC when I was about 4 years old. I love this game even to this day!

[Thesupermachine2000]

@Neboh420 Me too, never understood a thing of it XD But brings back a loooot of memory's now.. I also vagely remember a game with a submarine do you accidently know such a game ?

[1ivewire]

@Thesupermachine2000 You just inspired me to look up an old submarine game I almost forgot called Operation Neptune. Not sure if it's the same one but I used to love this and lots of other Learning Company games

[Perslapio]

OH THE MEMORIES!

[SladeForelly]

what in the fucking hell is that open-close thing on 0:13? Thats is just evil! Looks like that eats halfl of you body then trows you away when you are still alive... I was just a kid back in time!

[brianridesabike]

hahah no way, i used to play this in kindergarten.

[TheTwB2Frager]

Haha I get why commander keen was into Doom, the world maps look almost the same!

[ImantaBabite]

@TheTwB2Frager Hey, indeed. Never thought of this. Thanks!

[ThirdOfJune4444]

I took this game out of mothballs...haven't played it in YEARS! Can't remember how to play the sound through my speakers instead of the PC's internal speakers. Anybody?

[TheOneHamster]

This game is so fucked up, if you look at it these days :D

[HDMGDH]

@TheOneHamster not

[AfterShockPivot]

This will always be my favorite game.

[bright91]

this brings back memories! best game of the '90's

[HunterStarcraft]

Oh keen... you little SOB

[saiyajingabe]

Is that Pepsi can copywrited? :)

[suiciderxxx]

this first commander keen was creepy as hell

[MindMunch]

I can see many ideas in terms of level design that would be later used on Wolfenstein 3D and Doom.

[iamsmalll]

I USED TO BE SO AFRAID OF THAT GREY KANGAROO

[BechTalent]

@iamsmalll

dear christ, me too...

[TheTrooper80]

@iamsmalll me too lol :D:D

[ravensfan222008]

A lot of people forget that games like these inspired the successful games of recent years.

[Bajuiceta5]

Commander Keen rushes to beat his parents upstairs?! What an abusive kid!

[NextGenGameSystem]

@Bajuiceta5 you mean abusive parents. his parents are prolly beatin him haha

[COMoviesCO]

i was afraid of the wolf when i played this, so i couldn't compete the levels.

[Dukenukem155]

OMFG, i never new how ez it was to kill that last boss, i was lost on that one >.<

[STFUNOWlol]

FUKING WOLFMAN

[19Hauken90]

I remember I played this game more than ten years ago...

Such an amazing game.

[musaahetikiitos]

4:42 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

[Helipadsarefun]

THESE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING!

[krisfrosz133]

Interesting history to know that id Software made this game before Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake. id should make a sequel or a remake of Commander Keen for the DS, PSP or Wii.

[thisismylogon]

best game

[Nekac1]

Best part is 3:38-3:48 where is no terrible sound :D

but nice job man

[johannhowitzer]

You know the word "nincompoop"? Well, when I was little, I thought the sound of one of the larger aliens getting zotted was "nincom-spread." No idea why.

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

omg. i use to play this game day and night!!!

[Mexiun]

When i see this, i feel homewick to the time when i was a kid :(

[ReDebris]

Commander Keen 1 was and still is the best :)

[vulcanskater]

Nostalgasm... I love you.

[LinkSOB]

I'm 23, and the only game in the series I was ever lucky to have was demo version Commander Keen 4. I had a blast playing it through and through back in 94' or '95 when I first got it.

I remember going after the pizzas in the game.

[brownbunny1000]

Would've been quicker in God Mode

[Owlch]

I have to say I'm not a gamer at all but I grew up on Commander Keen and still love it to this day. I can't believe how many memories come back to me when I watch this game!

[InSorteDiaboIi]

oh how I miss this game. such memories. :)

[PIEDol]

GOD DAMN! I'm only 15 now, born in 1995. So I really have to appreciate how lucky I was to have a dad that''s into, and was into, retro gaming. This was one of the FIRST (I'm talking first 3) games I ever played. This vid is bringing back so many memories! Can't believe I forgot about this masterpiece.... and the countless hours I spent looking for secrets and trying to get every item. :p

[warthugz]

lol i remember playing this we bought our first computer :D loved it..

[sigmaree]

@warthugz

yeah. the era of 286 PC's with 15MB harddrives and floppy discs, lol.

keen 1 was out around the time of NES mario bros 1, and it kicked marios ass. the first real proof that the PC could more than keep up with games running on consoles.

[GTAGeneral]

game completed in 7 minutes lol *sigh*

[kasey172]

HOLY SHIT!! I HAVEN'T PLAYED THIS GAME SINCE I WAS A CHILD!! Thank you, YouTube for resurfacing childhood memories once again.

[mthirkettle]

DUDE! You're missing all the lollypops.

[TheReturnOfJames]

I hate that wolf/alien dude...

[LibertyInProgress]

@TheReturnOfJames lol... me too. He always freaked me out jumping all over the place. He won't even die when you shoot him with the laser.

[MooseOfReason]

I miss the '90s.

[davevf123]

YAY PEPSI CANS! I FREAKING LOVE PEPSI AND I LOVE id!!!!! THIS GAME ROCKS. MASTER CHIEF MY BUTT!

[magg0tmacdonald]

1:17 HOW DARE YOU!!! You're going straight to hell

[967evil]

I miss this game.

[Zandotroll2]

sounds are not the same : /

even that, omg i love this game good memories

[RaAyamLulz]

fucking nostalgia

[thepepijnsmits]

BEST. GAME. EVAAR!1

[TheMikeyReilly]

@thepepijnsmits You've obviously never played DOOM. ;-)

[DOOMER23JK]

I Don't care what others say but as a kid i always hated this game i tought it was fucked up i mean giant lalipops in the sky cyclopse miget mosnters and some kid on mars what were they smoking

[un5t0ppable]

this game was my first computer game, when i was a kid...it is soo lovely memory ^^ ahh...these old times :DDD

[DdlyHeadshot]

You killed Yorps!

[Righton2000]

We're spending all this money to let probes crash into the planet and this little bastard was there first?!?!

[Martinofredwall100]

Yahoo!

[Omegalore]

HA! Memories, that's easy for ye to say, viewers. I'm gonna get Commander keen soon. How? Well here's how, id super pack. It'll be me first time playing.

[bobbyzulu]

There is my childhood right there!!

[clorena8]

Favorite game in my life, I remember every year waiting for the next release! :D

[Kitsunegari85]

how simple games used to be. I used to play this all the time. So good!

[krisfrosz133]

id Software should make a sequel of Commander Keen. It'd be an awesome 3D platformer like Super Mario 64 or a 2D game for the Nintendo DS.

[meowkie]

No...fucking...way. :D I love you!!!

[AlexeiVoronin]

Great vid :)

I really liked the way you avoided the first 3 vorticons - you are either very skilled or very lucky.

I wonder which of the two can be finished faster - Keen1 or Keen3 (you can reach the the final level very fast if you know which way to choose).

@ Moschusochse - looks like Duke Nukem, but it was made earlier.

[Moschusochse]

looks like duke nukum

[DancingEmeralds]

I was 3 years old when I first played this game. So fun to se it again 19 years older. I love it!

[therealAgerbon]

fantastic game over all.

[mariokiller55]

Its a bit like a cooler version of mario

[Multyshox]

I love it!

[AndiWandi]

Haha fucking Ninja Wolf

[zolo1243]

My favorite computer game as a kid. Damn the memories...

[vduke]

i used to play this as a kid

fuckin old ass game

[074Jesse]

1:02 scary when that creature is speeding up XD

[juju52291]

I didn't think that many people played this game...it's so bad ass!!

[namelessguy93]

I used to play this when I was 10 and always considered it as crappy, because I was used to Super Mario World. But this was the first game on a computer with a working scrolling engine! So it's kinda awesome...

[makinbacon855]

i have a problem with the fact i was alive when games like this existed and i was playing them. i feel soooo fucking old. im not 30 yet..but im on my way there

[boowallie]

Hahahaha I remember playing this game as a kid on DOS..

[074Jesse]

Yesterday i spoaked the real commander keen, he said to me that he likes to put the stick in some girls ass then lick it

[0428733]

good ol times when I could fluently read the standard galactic alphabet

[RoyHess666]

Oh I remember those DOS times, Wolfenstein 3D, Commander Keen etc .. D:

[supersieni9]

Has someone noticed at 3:04; that teddybear looks same like ones in Secret Agent.

And I remember this game because pogo stick...

[endlesskazekun]

To quote Bender; "We've come a looooong way babeh!" ha ha love this game, I must have been, what? 5 last time I played it? I need to bust out dosbox ha ha

[Zolega89]

i remebered thi game but i never knew the title

[mth999pop]

my favorite game!!

[feverxchill]

holy shit I love this game and all it's stupid little retro sounds.

it always used to make me hungry though :( pizzas and soda.

[ftp44]

I love this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nom0retrolling4U]

My little brother can play this game life that too - it still takes me like two hours to beat it.... =(

[imustbejoeking]

I've still got this for DOS. Gotta love Commander Keen!

[skinnyvinny3]

i just got a commander keen collection pack on Steam for 4.99 for the whole saga.

[PrinceThrons]

There must come another Commander Keen 2010 that must be great

[cadcTV]

oh duude.. tis been ages since I last played commander keen... I'm kinda wishing to play it again now, lol

[crownofthevalley]

I can't believe my dad paid about $45 for this game back in the day!

[PrinceThrons]

If I say what is the best Commander Keen game what do you people say?

[MoretimerMcMire]

Mass effect 2 has much better graphic!

[CommentClown]

My $2 calculator has better graphics!

LOL.

[rhiannon650]

damn that dog is dumb just jump the hell over it

[OMFGsoBOARD]

i cant believe i wasted so much time going for the candy...

[gerLd]

candy in space.

[ToxicBarrel]

The Martians stole the candy and other stuff from Earth.

[Skumpaj]

It's a fucking nice game, it was one of the first pc games that made sense...

[Vleesball]

i've a feeling: ID software is hiring a new team for a next gen Commander Keen = )

I read that they are working on concept art atm for a new IP (not rage)

And in the article it didnt say that the new team they are going to hire is for doom4 or any game..

Maybe its for a new quake.. *shrugs* ^^

They only make first person shooters.. so.. Commander Keen in first person would be pretty awesome.

[Righton2000]

You know, no one ever mentioned how this kid had a really poor diet.

[RaynorX]

@Righton2000 lol he must be diabetic after all of that sugar

[Righton2000]

I bet. I mean, look at his skin.

[Shinkiker303]

such a great game. what a classic :D

[lartrak]

Wow, that was a great speed run. It's hard to imagine more than a few seconds better even being possible.

[rhiannon650]

that dog is so dumb you just jump over the damn thing

[Jarlaxle1611]

I love the keen games!

[d3jus]

i need only one shot ...^^

[dirtpipedan]

i cant believe i used to sit and play games like this for hours when i was a kid. so crappy

[zakoe07]

The alien failed at 2:59

[GUYANESEGT]

how do you get dosbox to run so smoothly? it runs way too fast on my system. any help plz

[ProMonoX]

You can change virtual CPU cycles with ctrl + f11 and f12 in dosbox.

[Camlica123]

pff the good old times, no worries and just gaming XD

[TheOmegamans]

So he lands his gigantic space ship on the entirety of Canada?

[libed91]

I wish i had a pogo stick like that

[Trixilver]

4:42 = fail XD

[shamrock118]

@Trixilver

Lol! I thought the same thing but decided not to comment on it

when will we see a crysis style commander keen sequel?
