Computer Stuff-But Nothing Too Technical!!

Commander Keen! This is an old arcade-like game made by Id and Apogee (the folks who later brought you Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake.) Our hero is Billy, aka "Commander Keen". I first started playing Commander Keen on my old 386 computer. Later, when I gave that 'puter to my nephew JT, he became a big fan of Keen! It was so cool to find web pages out there in cyber space devoted to Commander Keen! This is a comphrehensive site: All You Can Eat Commander Keen-most importantly, it has the Episode Six Foes, so if you have lost the original booklet that came with the game ( or never had it to begin with) you can access the game!
