Commander Keen: Goodbye, Galaxy!

[TheAdam159]

If they released the Keen episodes on PSN, as they did with Wolfenstein 3D, I would get it

[TheAdam159]

id software are the greatest. Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, and Commander Keen. Legendary games. If id made another Keen I would so buy it

[SWeston45]

Man, I lost count of how many times I've played this game. Id should make a new Keen and release it as DLC on consoles. I would so buy it.

[SandopolisZone]

Commander Keen

Rayman 1

BEST 90's PC GAMES OF MY CHILDHOOD EVER

[aglewi41]

ID software should make another commander keen just for shits and giggles

[jomamacool510]

I grew up on Commander Keen and Monkey Island!! those were the days

[jomamacool510]

Wasn't the black dude in the story thing with all the pictures?? I kinda remember who you're talkin about.

[IsllayGirls]

Does anyone remember of a black guy with a weird hat with a big, red "O" (zero) on it... i know im not being specific... but i remember that guy from this game. I know he's not on the gameplay, but it think he was on the info or story or something. Anyone remember him?

[aang181818]

OMG I totally forgot this game! I had forgotten what it was called and everything but found it here, this is a major nostalgia rush. Still can't believe ID software made this, if you had told me that the guys that made this had also made my other favorite PC games (Doom and Heretic) I'd have never believed it!

[IggyHazard]

The graphics remind me of Space Quest 2 and something about the music reminds me of Shadow of the Beast.

[hizzlemafizzle]

THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER MADE

MAKES ME FEEL 6 AGAIN TT

[Tensorskills]

I remember our attic being filled with papers of codes for this game and lemmings... I miss that time

[girlonaboat]

The three games I played Commander keen, Monkey Island and Wolfenstein. Those were the days.

[Ladderstall]

I remember this game being tough as balls. But then again, I wasn't more than 7-8 years when I played it....

[arehandora0409]

can someone give me a download link?

[MrKasperabhay]

15 yrs back ...when i was in grade 3 ...damn miss dose dayz

[apinafilms]

aaahhhhh i still wish i would have this game ='(

[Squeaky4CC]

@apinafilms download this game. pretty fun and better than mw3

[apinafilms]

@Squeaky4CC never mind i allready had done it after commenting

i just downloaded a pack containing everyone of them (TPB to the rescue!)

and dont even get me started on modern warfare its not even comparable to this

im surprised how few people actually even know this game

[themousemaster]

@Squeaky4CC are you kidding, it's better than any of the new games aww man just miss it so much why can't they bring retro back we can start over again and pretend nothing's changed...

[BarrelNinja]

i remember playing, but what was the point of the paddle war in the game at the end?

[CreatifFx]

oohh i remeber this game i loved it when i was younger

[JustSpawnKilled]

I wasn't able to enjoy these games as a kid, but I sure can respect them!

[Jahaison]

OMG!! Flashbacks!!!

[Destroyerr2]

How much time has passed.. i played this on Windows 3.1 (exactly on MS-DOS) 13 years ago.

[Piercedpixie56]

Was this released on Gameboy? I've seen Commander Keen for gameboy but it has no numbers. Does that 1 COmmander Keen game encompass all of them?

[TheBlooglet]

When I first played this, we already had a Windows 95 machine at home. It was still awesome. Is it just me, or are all popular mainstream games first-person shooters and hooker-killing racers nowadays? Back then game creators were so innovative.

[TheOnlyHonkization]

how do get the music?! if i say "music on" or "sound on" or what it was.. it doesn't woork :((

[MairoLover]

Oh my god! This game! We used to play it back in the 90's just like MrGeeLegend is, everything changed so much, 3D games and all... :(

[MrGeeLegend]

I had this on my cpu back in the 90s, this game was AWESOME!!!

[Cuishi10]

@MrGeeLegend Me too! LOL! My sister's and I played it like crazy. Good times!!

[EllyBrown95]

Era il mio gioco preferitoooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooo!!! *______*

[Thisiselliz1]

the trees look high lol

[HyperDarkness91]

Man I was like 6-8 years old when used to play this nice game!

[WindWalker940]

this is my all time favorite game, it just has that feel that i think is golden nostalgia

[IronKingLeo]

This takes me back.

[Zoza15]

Good Old days, still remember playing this game when i was a kid..

[snarfizzle]

you better have been playing this with your gravis gamepad :P

[michaliskebab]

Hi Billy May... I mean Blaze here!

[marsgodofficial]

/watch?v=El3-B4cLt_c

[t3hpez]

this game was sooo hard. I was very determined as a child, if I played this now I wouldn't last 10 minutes!

[SpookerstheSpoo]

Thumbs up this comment if you looked up this game becuase you read about it in the novel "Masters of Doom."

(And cool, all the people in the book are in the credits! :3)

[santywii]

@SpookerstheSpoo YEAH

[XyL0Ph0n3]

This game is so fun. Where the hell do i get it for free?!?!? anyone knows?

[Cakerolled]

I would get my dad to kill the fish for me.

[ProKeyWriter]

I'm one who when see this video I think about Doom 2?

[DEKAT7644]

When looking back, even with today's much more advanced games, I still wonder what was more fun...

[fabral09]

Before Doom, there was Commander keen ...

[wiersandlines]

I fucking loved this, this was my first at home computer game!!

[TwilightSylvestris]

Man, I played this when I was 3, along with God of Thunder and Cosmo Cosmic Adventures. <3 Haha, I still have some old CD's of Shareware games, good times!

[somertonlord]

Wow this is like Super Mario...... Only.. better!!

[kazooga1234]

why didnt you play pong until the 21 its fun

[FastbackJon]

I think you missed some hidden points in the ceiling at 1:26. How in the world do I remember that from 20 years ago when I was 7?

[kazooga1234]

@FastbackJon the same way i remeber its just because this game was so addictive you had to keep replaying it over and over again and it was hella fun

[Methodman88]

this brings me back, i remember playing the shareware version of this game, Pong was fukin epic!

[richsmif]

Remember it well!!

[QuantumPolagnus]

Aww man, that takes me back! I remember getting to your "Save 04" but I don't recognize the area for Save 05. I don't remember actually beating the game...

[WoWintosh]

It's so much more satisfying to kill this guy in Doom 2 now that I know how annoying he is

[Cyzthur]

You've got to eat your vegetables.

[wonkeytjuuuh]

i used to play this with a joystick xD

[Foebane72]

Ugh, I hate cutesy games. I feel sorry for Adrian having to draw this kind of crap when he wanted to draw demons and guts. And Tom Hall deserved to be fired, he was OBSESSED with this crappy franchise! ID FOR THE GORE!!

[FinleyPedrina92]

Paddlewar! ^_^

P.S. Poor red balls, I've always found them cute.

[AnnoyingSwedishGuy]

I'd kill for a collection of these games to the 3DS :)

[Gnorconpro]

Ahh.. good ol' Paddlewar!

[TrussQi]

This game is my childhood. Felt really hard back then though.. used cheats every now and then xD

[kenny13981]

Hah, you forgot the secret places :D

[Freeman8268]

yeah man this is KEEN

[Dragonfloe]

The first computer game I ever played...

[themousemaster]

@Dragonfloe Same here, my nanna introduced it and wolfenstein to me

man she was such a badass *sigh*

[DangerousDerp]

@Dragonfloe Mine to (:

[maniamaster2]

This game, Chip's Challenge, and Jezz Ball are my childhood!

[MessingWithMatches]

This was the first ever game I played when my dad got a computer in the house xD Aww the memories 8) the noises.. the music..the levels.. aww brilliant :]

[Lyriicistique]

I rememmber this game!!I miss this!

[SparkieBunnie]

GOOODBYE GALAXY!!! I loved that game when i was little.. *sob* i miss it so much!

[hiroxprima]

AWWWW SHIIIIIIIIT!!!! PADDLE WAAAAARS!!!

[Reach4skillz]

Old memories are old<3

[SonGoku87]

best moment at 4:26

damn im out of ammo ... LETS PLAY PADDLE WAR xDD

those were the days

[mousse171]

I was playing this gam with my father i was like 5 or yo and i still remember it that game rocks!!!

[fiziksdrop180]

This game was the shit in the early 90's!

[nexusvision10]

Nostalgia out the asshole. I remember when finding a new level on this game made you a god back in grade school. Nowadays, you have to beat a game on Veteran difficulty, in a certain amount of time, with only your knife, while crossing your eyes and singing the alphabet backwards to the tune of Classical Gas by Eric Clapton to get any wows from people.

[marceljamesburgunder]

holy shit, keen is now in 3D

[GunDream]

commander keen? fucking nostalgia!

[coryphoenix808]

Brings back memories. This is the stuff that should be on Xbox Live Arcade.

[sethhepler]

9 people had no childhood

[Sevival]

@sethhepler or maybe they just did go outside in their childhood

[apinafilms]

@Sevival thats horrible! what inhumane psychopats did they turn into?!

[xXxstunner]

@brenco everybody makes mistakes but this guy started all the fps mania specially the cod kind with wolfenstein 3d he totally changed the notion that games were in the early 90's so yes he is a genious but as I can see you have nothing better to do than trolling ppl on your computer at 5 of the morning.

[maor1810]

wow.. back at those times i was so terrified by the bouncing rocks... they always wait for you to turn your back at them!

now when i look at this i just think - that's one hell of a game to play when you're trippin!!!!

[goribigon]

classic



[superbanger1000]

HAHAHAHA OWNED @ 4:23

[RiseofBane]

I been looking for this game forever.. I was confused with Cosmoboy jesus.

[Tarrant1976]

I could never understand the Big Red creatures at 5:26 They used to appear and disappear in a Cloud of Smoke. Totally harmless to Keen but could be shot anyway, lol. Unlike the Bouncing Red Balls these creatures served no real purpose in the Game.

[Vakitaw]

could you play this game in Windows Vista? [sorry for my bad english*]

[malljalla]

4:26 rage quit! :)

[poopinitup]

John "The Legend" Romero

[Jontman42]

OH MY GOD NOSTALGIA ATTACK

[Balendula]

Wow, I never knew this game had music

[SladeForelly]

The song at 2:44 is funny as hell

[alurkata]

@SladeForelly lol, totally agree with you

[SladeForelly]

That murshroom scares the shit out of me back in times...

[vukan1010]

I have a PC with 1Gb DDR3 memory graphics card 2Gb of DDR RAM some integrated graphics card and...I don't hear sound in this game...what could be the problem cuz all is set right in game options? :P

[MichaelYoshiFan]

@vukan1010

your need a ISA Soundcard :) simple soundblaster 16 ISA

[Muffincakeswithsugar]

the soundtrack is so funky!

[TheDramtor]

Epic Soundtrack :) - awesome game

[xChloe007x]

damn this game is still fucking gangster hahathey shoudl release all the episodes on psn

[matmanxify]

me wanna go back...

[SoundwaveRomania]

I swear I was watching a Jazz The Jackrabbit video and I was thinking what other games I played as a young boy and I remembered this game. Next thing I see is this video in the Suggestions. What a coincidence!

[isyutd159]

that red guy is so high lol

[iaminternetfamous]

haha I used to laugh when I killed the happy red ball "I deny your happiness" ( I must of had a warped childhood haha

[KampferXeon]

This shouldn't have more views than every single Marathon video!

[TMMQuicksilver]

No! The Bounder was THREE DAYS FROM RETIREMENT!

[AapPlas]

You've got to eat your vegetables! Do you hear me?

[ipaqmaster]

by far one of my most Favorite Games EVER!

aww, Red balls are your friend!! D=)

[Headshotgod]

damn, amazin music...

[TheInventor200]

2:51 IT'S ROBERT PRINCE'S VEGETABLES SONG!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!

[CesMan83]

Prior to recently, I had NO idea that Commander Keen is actually the grandson of William "BJ" Blazkowics, the Nazi-eliminating US Army Ranger hero from "Wolfenstein 3D"!!

[TheInventor200]

@CesMan83 Doomguy is also a descendant of Bj Blazkowics.

[Continuum7]

I used to play these Keen games all the time. They were so much fun lol

[rbellev]

First impression: OMFG YOU KILLED THE BOUNDER! NOOOOOO!

[kekeke42789]

2:18

When I was 5 playing this, I thought the worms crawling around were invincible enemies and hopped around them all the time xD

+ that level made me be wary of rocks xD sneaky lil mimics

[prepaidusenet]

This remembers me the good old times :-/

[jessissleepy]

And those red balls pissed me off for some reason. With their stupid grinning faces...

[jessissleepy]

I remember playing this game during computer class in elementary school! And everyone would always use the cheats, haha.

[kraken636]

haha "oh shit outta ammo time to play pong"

[kissingcats000]

i remember in daycare they had 1 computer that everyone had assigned times for and everyone always wanted to play this game. good times :P

[eyeswideopen82]

Those walking rocks are adorable.

[eyeswideopen82]

Man, id Software and Apogee were pumping out great games left and right back in the early to mid-90's.

Games are hit or miss these days.

[thegreenas]

lol, funny sweet moments of childhood. wonder if any of children of new generations found these games attractive...

[GelberFisch8]

dear game industry please bring commander keen to ps3 or xbox360! :D

[spedoinkle]

I <3 God Mode

[MaxRideWizardLord]

DOPEFISH LIVES!

[xXxstunner]

Kind of funny to think that this happy and non violent game was created by the same guy that started the extremely bloody FPS games.John Romero is a genius

[MaxRideWizardLord]

@xXxstunner watch his new project, he did some farm game :P

[brenco]

@xXxstunner John Romero, a genius? Does a little thing called "Daikatana" mean anything to you?

[GamingJesters]

@xXxstunner John Romero? I really think you need to read Masters Of Doom. Commander Keen is Tom Hall's creation, and he opposed the gore and guts. John Romero wanted the fast paced killing machine game.

[foxycorredor]

@xXxstunner I WANT ID SOFTWARE T-SHIRT

[StackBrains]

@xXxstunner I think John Carmack is THE genius.

[xXxstunner]

@StackBrains Yeah he's also a big fish

[StackBrains]

@xXxstunner o.O

[TheViolenceMan]

@xXxstunner he's a failed douchebag

[KittenSnipa]

@xXxstunner too bad they had 4 commander keens hanging in the super secret doom 2 level.

[MrTurpasauna]

WHY DID YOU KILL THE POOR RED BALLS YOU CAN USE THEM :(

[Gonnakillyou]

@MrTurpasauna And they don't hurt you anyway. Unless you stand between one and a snail and he jumps into your direction...

[pinkaddiction13]

@MrTurpasauna i used to hate those red balls as a kid cause they reminded me of this mean fat girl in my class. LMAO

[dafuki]

@MrTurpasauna i think it's cause they look like pedo's

[kazooga1234]

@MrTurpasauna i know i love the happy face balls even when they try to push you into the fire they are fun to play with and i dont even like to kill the fire balls if i can help it they are just to cute

[ecuador78]

those walkin stones was so scary b4 :s

[aapkostuum]

i actually played this without music, i cant recall it at all

[RaniSenka]

one of the best games ever.

[Tnadcs]

WAIT!....Commander Keen was a GINGER?!?

[chodemufin]

LOL 0:40 keen makes a run for stoner tree forest

[iamericwhite]

The sound effects in this game are positively hilarious and brilliant. They have a whimsical fluffiness to them. Like when picking up the laser guns. LOL

[Ambassador696]

4:26 lol)

[haterdude]

that game was SO great! every CK game! when i was a young boy, i really loved it! nostalgia!!

[HiddenYoshi]

thumbs up for MS-DOS mode! w00t!!!

[makinbacon855]

ah the memories

[jros83]

the trees looked stone out of their minds

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

I used to do a little strip tease to this music 2:43

[DelennB5]

Those things at 2.28 min scared the hell out of me when I was 4 years old! When there were more than 2 I called my mom to get passed them because I was to scared to die, lol!

[HiddenYoshi]

@DelennB5 dude same

[Kuivik2]

Played this game a lot :D lol

[frostytheaussie]

i was always constantly fearful of squandering my raygun shots

[JeppePaaBjerget]

hey you can buy it on steam. for 4,99€

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.

[TheReturnOfJames]

Remake of this game, anyone?

[Pommes1983]

@TheReturnOfJames

why? It is still shareware. You can play it with dosbox. There are other remakes of this game with new parts out to download and play for free.

[floridden]

i guess everyone played this game. lol.

[StrungOutFlip]

I love the art direction they took with this game. Still has that charm after all these years

[FOGoticus]

Oh my god.... I remember when I had my old pc, and was playing this game....

Such a great time....

Well, going to buy the collection on steam most probably.

[philbateman1989]

I sometimes think that games like this are gone forever, until I realise that they didn't disappear, and on the right machine you can boot them right up and be a kid again! They never get old, and a part of your childhood comes back as soon as you see that title screen :) Makes you all fuzzy inside :P

[someguy111222]

i remember if you get a bunch of little worms together something happens, i forget though

[STK87]

the tune at 0:40 makes me giggle, haha i love this game

[iamericwhite]

@STK87

LMFAO

I remember being little, watching my brother play this, and thinking the music at 2:51 was the funniest thing ever. It's still pretty hilarious, but ahh.... those were the days. I'd always beg him to play the levels that had this music. LOL

[STK87]

@iamericwhite

Nostalgia :)

[SH0CK3I2]

@iamericwhite lol same here man, that music always got me

[armandmax]

amazing

[ayshelchan]

:DD I loved this when I was just a little girl! Ahh~~~ I feel nostalgic

[jirka9245]

Paddle wars!!!
