MSDOS4Ever Sorry, but I don't care if the creater of the Build engine made this and that freaking Epic Megagames was in the mix, it's still shit.

Theowne In the bio, he says he made Ken's Labrynth around 1990's (15 years old?) and that the build engine came to life in 1993, that was when he was 18.

Novus Ken's Labyrinth was developed by Ken Silverman and Andrew Cotter in 1992 (development started 1992-06-16, v1.0 released 1993-01-01) and originally distributed as shareware (5 levels free as in beer, the full 27 level game (v1.1, released 1993-01-16) available for $25). Version 2.0 (with improved art by Mikko Iho and many other improvements) was released 1993-03-21 as the new shareware version (10 levels) through Epic Megagames. Version 2.1, the new registered version (30 levels) was released 1993-06-22 and sold by Epic Megagames for $30.

The registered version (v2.1) of Ken's Labyrinth was released as freeware 1999-11-16 by Ken Silverman (with permission from Epic Megagames). Later, 2001-07-01, Ken released the source code to v2.1. The code is licensed under Ken's own license.

Based on the source Ken released in 2001, I wrote a port called LAB3D/SDL, which was initially released 2002-08-26. LAB3D/SDL should run on most systems with OpenGL; I release Windows (9x/NT/XP) and Linux i386 binaries myself, and the source code (also available) compiles and runs on many other Unix-like systems (e.g. FreeBSD and Solaris). I haven't tried compiling it on OS X, though. LAB3D/SDL features high-resolution OpenGL graphics, Adlib emulation (for correct playback of the music) and support for all four publicly released versions of Ken's Labyrinth. LAB3D/SDL is under the same license as Ken's source code release.

The "OpenGL version" of Ken's Labyrinth on Abandonia is LAB3D/SDL v2.32 (the latest version) with the Ken's Labyrinth 2.1 (latest registered version) data files compiled for Windows 9x/NT/XP.

I was very intrigued by Mr Silverman, and decided to find out more about him. Check out his website at http://advsys.net/ken/.
Erm... folks? 12 years old?!

According to that web site, Ken was born in 1975.
1993 - 1975 = 18.

Dear reviewer, such urban legends sound nice, but please stick to the facts. Thank you.

The Levitating Nun Heh, I went through a time of trying to program stuff. Got as far as hello world! before I gave up and decided it would be less annoying just to buy the games.

I've got Ken's labyrinth somewhere in the house and I remember it being pretty good, perhaps I'll give this a go.
