Keen Dreams is not by ID software and many fans don't consider it to be part of the series because it has a totally different vibe. Omho it sucks especially compared to the other games. The visuals were a total setback compared to -Goodbye, Galaxy! -, which btw came an year earlier (1991. As for the gameplay - I prefer a Commander Keen who blast alien slugs that poop radioactive sh-t with his laser pistol instead of watching my veggie-dinner on the screen. And the game menu. Don't get me started!

There must be a way to get more bombs (maybe by getting some and then dying to quit the level) because I remember getting literally 100 once to take on the boss. It really felt like an epic final battle, too, since he was immune to regular weapons and seemed huge compared to the normal enemies.
I always liked this game, and I never missed the pogo or the ledge-grabbing. It was a good challenge. Those crazed-looking veggies were really creepy to me at the time, though.

Awesome review! Ya, I've played around a little bit with this one, and I agree, you really don't know how much you'll miss having stuff like background music, and something like grabbing onto ledges until you literally don't have it. O_o I literally tried multiple times just to grab onto a ledge the first time I played this. XD
7 Keen games including this one? Don't forget the awesome, but strictly -unofficial-, mods Ceilick made, and is making.

I remember this one. A dos pc at a campground had this, Stunts, and Leisure suit larry (quality taste there) along with a ps1 with some NHL game and quake 2. It was a great time, and sometimes we were able to guess our way through the age check in Larry, but not being native english speakers, not to mention young, we had no idea how to play. We were able to get beer, and then get kiled in the alley (or something like that) but never much more than that.

i enjoyed the review, this used to be one of my favourite games as a kid. the whole not being able to grab onto ledges, no pogo stick, no gun always seemed logical to me, because he's dreaming, and dreams can often make us inferior. for instance, he's powerless against his parents who are making him to eat the veggies he doesn't like, hence the no gun, pogo, etc. or maybe i'm reading too much into it.

Hey random question. I used to have a disc that was titled 5 star games or something to that effect and it had HUNDREDS of dos games on it. I remember I got it when I was like 5, but I have seemed to have misplaced it. I cant find it anywhere on ebay or anything. Do you remember anything like this? If so do you think you could lead me in some direction to where I could find it?

This video is almost 10! Did you know a few years back a version of this was out on steam? By a company called hard disk instead of soft disk. Sadly it-s not for sale anymore. I heard rumours as to why. It was came out through green light on steam when that was a thing. Had steam achievements and a bunch of stuff fans asked for! Even could toggle on cga mode if you wanted

I think I have a small rock inside my nose, I was laying on the ground in a playground when my brother who threw rocks at me landed one at the perfect angle in my nose, I then tried to get it out put pushed it deeper in there.
Doctor said nothing is their when he looked, but my right nostril doesn't have any airflow so 10 years later I think its still there.

I love that you have a Les Claypool shirt on and say -He wakes up tripping balls- LOL
I actually really loved this game as a kid. I do remember it being a little harder than the other ones, but not any less fun. And I must have found all the bombs, because I do remember entering the castle and fighting Boobius or what his name is.

This. Keen dreams was my first real experience pc gaming.
And the first game I ever got the within a year of its release.
Out of two games. -.
This old video just made my nose itch.
I used to believe it was some kind of alpha version of the keen games they just released as sharware to be a nerfed ad.
