Where’s the commander keen?

  I was going to say Apogee probably still owns it, but Wolf3D is up there. It’s possible id got the Wolf3D source but not Keen, I suppose. It would be fun to see Keen source code if it’s out there!

  I believe that they lost the source long ago

  Back in 2014 John Hall found the source to some of the old stuff, including Keen 4,5,6 https://games.slashdot.org/story/14/09/17/133228/commander-keen-keen-dreams-source-code-released https://games.slashdot.org/story/14/09/17/133228/commander-k... The game was bought by fans, the source was released and Keen Dreams was published on steam. https://github.com/keendreams/keen https://github.com/keendreams/keen https://store.steampowered.com/app/356200/Keen_Dreams/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/356200/Keen_Dreams/ The ownership of the older stuff is quite fragmented.
