Wanna play the commander keen games, what's the best order to play them? Is DosBox okay for playing them? What about the Game Boy Color version?

>> No.4748381

I don´t think there is an specific order, and dosbox emulation is great.

Just make sure to configure a nice joypad. I prefer xbox 360´s

have a nice play!

Play 'em chronologically. Ignore people who say 1-3 are bad, they simply are not. DOSbox is fine, the games run perfectly through it. Skip Keen Dreams and the GBC game. Dreams is just a mediocre throwaway installment with the pogostick removed and this awful thrown weapon instead of your laser gun. Certainly playable, but nowhere near the quality of the main series. GBC Keen is just hot garbage, avoid it. Have fun!

Agreed. Jesus, I cringed reading his post. "Have fun!". Reddit is like a fucking cult. I constantly see screen caps, mostly in soiboi threads where a thread begins with something like "Look Reddit, I did x!". I had YouTube running in auto pilot, and a video came on that was something like "top 5 scariest reddit post". The first story was interesting, so I left it on. I noticed at the end of reading the post, the last line was "so creepy guy who tried to kidnap me... let's not meet again". Oh...kay
... that was kind of cringey. Then the second story ends the same way, "so x person that spoopy person that did spoopy thing... let's not meet again". I had to turn that shit off because it made me so uncomfortable. I googled "reddit let's not meet", and there's a sub reddit of what amounts to creepy pastas where they all INSIST on ending their stories with "let's not meet again". I don't know why, I mean, to each their own.... but it fucking angers me.

Stop asking people for their input, be a man (hard as that may be for you) and just do it. Figure it out yourself. Worst comes to worse, fucking google it.

Just do them in order, and don't forget about keen dreams (episode 3.5). Dosbox is fine for playing them.

think of keen as two series. start with 1 or 4.
4 is where the series exploded, but even keen 1 has solid platforming

keen dreams is very strange and hard to recommend

Kill yourself, I hope. What a fucking disgusting waste you are. Have you resorted to reporting posts that call you what you are? Because I see a lot of replies calling you for what you are get deleted. You know, no one would fucking bother you if you didn't openly display your disgusting mental illness. I've seen your picture, and your probably the least convincing transexual I've ever seen, Chris-chan tier. Just be a fucking anon like the rest of us. Until then, I'll be sure to remind you what a disgusting faggot you are when ever I see your trip, faggot.
