Ya I enjoyed the series and was playing them as they were released: 1-6, then "Keen Dream" (7). I don't remember if there was any more after that.

1337=playing dukenukem 1 & 2 (ie. 2d, before 3d came out).

I've got an insane amount of classic games stored away.

yeah, if you download the game and call the number on the little shareware tag when you quit, you find out you canbuy every Keen ever made for 20 dollars. (that was last year, i dunno ne more)

that reminds me em... i remember which game got me into computers. ahhhhh yes... *flashback* a couple of years ago my friend introduced me to a game called starsiege: tribes. little did i know that this would be the start of my soon-to-be leet life. it started out with me and him simply playing 1-on-1 ove a LAN. it soon exploded into me and him modding, scripting, and skinning. this made me get into games and untimently programming. *out of flashback* and here i am today. good times. good times.


EDIT: yeah its an id game. id's my fave software company. doom, wolfenstein, etc. i think we sholud all thank wolfenstein. without it, the gaming industry wouldnt be like it is today. some people say that doom should be credited to this, but dont be fooled. doom came out on december 5th, 1993. alas, wolfenstein 3d came out in 1992. take that, noobies!

ROFL I remember playing Keen... like 1, 2, and 3 or something. Was Keen also that game when you had that pogo stick and those little blobs that you shot at.. and the green inch worms.. and the wizard you saved every so often...

[imported_EmeraldFalcon89]

lol yeah i think that was keen 4- search for the oracle...and then in this one secret level you see the wizard and you run over to rescue him and you go "You're free now your most smartness!" and he goes "I'm not an oracle, I'm the janitor, I tried telling the aliens but they wouldn't listen." it is hilarious...and yeah Keen rocks in general.

The CK games were the first video games I really enjoyed. I should still have them on a floppy somewhere...
