Commander Keen 2 - The Earth Explodes [SOLD]
 

Yes, I checked the Oldwarez list. That would be why I'm posting. The Oldwarez list claims the games to be sold, so I follow the links. Amazon doesn't recognize them by name, and Ebay doesn't sell new games.

Not only that, but I've downloaded both Commader Keen 1, 4, and that Dreams for free. It's entirely possible that I downloaded them illegally, I won't deny it if I did, but they didn't offer downloads for any of the others.

So, I guess my question is, are these games now Abandonware? And if so, would they be candidates for an upload to Abandonia?

Still being sold by ID Software

Grrrr...bark bark bark bark!!!!!
*starts foaming at the mouth*

No.4 is distributed as shareware and some of the others are too.
I can get you the shareware one of keen 4.

So that's what it is! Shareware! That makes sense. Thanks guys. And I apparently made moogle mad. I'm guessing that's bad.

And to commanderkeen, I already have 1, 4, and dreams. Thanks for offering though. ^_^

Uhm... use the oldwarez list again, and this time click on the SOLD links - not the name links.

Name = info
Sold = shop

I find #4 to be the best Keen in the series. As far as I remember, the whole game is playable, but the story is continued in 5 and, possibly, 6. It get's damn fuzzy in this memory attic of mine :-)

I agree,4,5 and 6 are by far the best.
I dont like the first three,they are not so good,graphically,soundwise and on the story&controls.

If only they were free... :cry:

If only 3 was available to freely download, then it would be more popular then 4. Is 3 the one with the paintings or something at the end of the level because that ruled!
