Coming Soon from id Software

As our follow-up to the Commander Keen trilogy, id Software is working on "The Fight For Justice": a completely new approach to fantasy gaming. You start not as a weakling with no food--you start as Quake, the strongest, most dangerous person on the continent. You start off with a Hammer of Thunderbolts, a Ring of Regeneration, and a trans-dimensional artifact. Here the fun begins. You fight for Justice, a secret organization devoted to vanquishing evil from the land! This is role-playing excitement.

And you don't chunk around the screen. "The Fight for Justice" contains fully animated scrolling backgrounds. All the people you meet have their own lives, personalities, and objectives. A 256-color VGA version will be available (smooth scrolling 256-color screens--fancy that)!

And the depth of play will be intense. No more "whack whack here's some gold." There will be interesting puzzles and decisions won't be "yes/no" but complex correlations of people and events.

"The Fight for Justice" will be the finest PC game yet.

-from Commander Keen (1990)

During a work meeting today I switched my webcam off and set it to OBS virtual camera, pointed at DOSBox.

It was like "Okay, that sounds good Dave. Foone, what's your update?"

"Yeah I was working on foobar and I fixed the barbaz and made all the qux's quuxier. It'll be done by monday."

"Okay cool. Do you know you're a DOS game?"

"Yeah. That's on purpose"

"Okay! Alright: Samantha, what's your update?"

Welcome to tumblr

Here's one of those moments you only get on tumblr when referring to a post about a computer. Are they referring to: A: the OP B: me C: the computer as being "boyfriend material"? Since we're here, I'm guessing it's probably C, but what I can't tell is if that's a factious answer or some joke I've missed.

I will however concede that it's a pretty nice computer, and a significant milestone in the evolution of the PC.

Daily Dose of Doom #3

Doomguy, B.J. Blascowitz, Quakeguy, and Commander Keen are all in the same family. Which means that Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake, and Commander Keen all take place in the same universe

Worst Video Game Song Tournament - Round 2 Match 4

You've Got to Eat Your Vegetables! - Commander Keen 4

youtube

VERSUS

GB Hunter Theme - GB Hunter

youtube

FIGHT!

I would recommend listening to as much as you can of each song before voting, but how you choose is up to you! Remember to be civil in the tags and replies!

Propaganda under cut:

You've Got to Eat Your Vegetables!:

"#eat your vegetables....... #nothing about it is good #why does it change volume on every instrument at seemingly random"

"#[You've Got to Eat Your Vegetables!] makes me feel like I'm in class and time is moving at a snail's pace and it's pissing me off"

"#[You've Got to Eat Your Vegetables!] is so laughably bad #why is it like that"

GB Hunter Theme:

"it's an N64 GameBoy emulator, but instead of playing the songs from the games it emulates, it plays this thing."

"#whereas the bitcrush on the GB hunter theme makes me want to perceive death"

"#need to expose more people to fucking gb hunter"

"#voted gb hunter mostly because it gives me a headache after listening for too long #also sucks how it replaces the regular sound in the games"

Feel free to add more propaganda in the tags and replies, or send it to me in the ask box and I'll try to share it as soon as I can!

(Pic from Doomwiki)

Something common in both mapsets and gameplay mods is replacing the SS guards and Keen.

It's how you get custom enemies in certain maps or mods with extra/secret enemies.

Of course, if you mix a mod and map that do both, they tend to clash.

But regardless, it's a fun thing so i thought of making a list of some examples.

And specifically about the Wolfenstein enemy and hanging Keen, so Romero's head or the "dead Lost Soul" thing aren't in it.

(Note: feel free to mention some because this list could have more examples)

In case this is long:

The Rebirth: SS guards are replaced with a snowman that can shoot you while Keen is replaced with an hanging Mario in a secret Mario themed area.

Ancient Aliens: SS guards are replaced by armored alien troopers (?) that shoot plasma and turn almost invisible to move around and Keen is replaced by floating skull things that shoot homing rockets (They have the same graphics as the spawn cube in FreeDoom).

Scythe 2: SS guards turns into that one red Doomguy with a Plasma Rifle and Keen becomes the Afrit, flying upper halves of red Barons that throw multiple fire balls.

TNT Revilution: I know the SS become a plasma turret but not sure about the Keens, are they the ones that shoot rockets?

Doom Zero: SS become the "alpha" Lost Soul (That originally had the hitscan attack but ever since the Unity add-on, it now shoots a Caco projectile) and Keen becomes a Dopefish.

Eviternity: Has more custom enemies but the SS replacement is the Former Captain (Who despite being a dual wielding chaingunner, actually shoots projectiles) and Keen becomes the Astral Cacodemon who shoots multiple fireballs.

Doom 2 The Way id Did: Because the secret levels are themed after Commander Keen, both Keen and the SS are replaced with characters from that series (SS becomes the Dopefish and Keen becomes a Yorp).

Epic 2: SS become some invisibility/camouflage alien-like guys that predate the ones we see in Ancient Aliens. Keen has his sound changes because of how he's used in some level.

Jenesis: SS becomes a zombie UAC marine and Keen becomes a fleshy monstrosity with twisted faces that shoots rockets and is the final boss.

Moonblood: SS becomes the Mother Demon from D64, who shoots Manc fireballs, Rev missiles and even a generic rocket.

50 Monsters: SS becomes a Chaingunner that drops an ammo clip, which is something i've seen other mapsets do. Keen becomes the Afrit.

Obituary: Keen becomes a dead player while SS becomes the "high tech guy" who's semi-invisible and has 2 guns.

Hacx: The Roaming Mine replaces the SS it seems.

FreeDoom: Why didn't i add this? SS become French sailors i think? They don't even have a dedicated level, really. And Keen becomes an alien inside a jar you can break, which is treated as a level prop.

4 Seasons of Doom: SS become a zombie with a BFG-kinda that shotos Manc flames (They also explode when they die) and Keen becomes an Imp hiding in a trash can.

Space Hunter: The SS are changed visually/mechanically to reference the Wizzrobes from Zelda (Called the Nazrobes here) and killing them grants access to a magical rod with new attacks. Keen is replaced with Mario stuck on a vine and you can hurt him to change to small Mario before dying in typical Mario fashion.

GMOTA: The SS are skeleton copies of the playable characters who are weak and laughable, sometimes a Revenant appears.

Hard Doom: It brings back other Wolf 3D enemies like the officer with the pistol and the silent mutant. Keen is replaced with a hanging torso-like creature that shoots projectiles so it's a basic threat.

Complex Doom: It gets crazy with the SS because it brings the dog enemies, mutants, some other soldiers and Mecha-Hitler. Keen is replaced with DarkSydePhil.

Demonsteele: SS are some armed Yakuza guys i guess, because they might be based off those Shadow Warrior guys. and Keen becomes an anime girl bodypillow.

MetaDoom: The SS represent soldiers from some ports of Wolf 3D, one of the Mac stealth games and RPG as if Wolfenstein was "Metafied" too. Keen resembles characters from other id titles like Dangerous Dave or Hovertank 3-D.

Doom Delta: The SS are replaced with the more basic Wolf 3D guard/soldier enemy.

Legion of Bones: The SS are replaced with those red skeletons with swords that used to be on FreeDoom and they shoot those firey skulls from Heretic i think.

I did a bit of investigation into how a certain well known and loved platform game and possibly many others by the same developers did their fade transitions in only 16 color EGA, inspired by a very nice gif from @asswolf.

So the transition is basically like this:

Update: all Keen games and Bio Menace use the same transition. Secret Agent does not. That's all I cared to test so far.

Does Commander Keen have a Ryu number?

Billy Blaze a.k.a. Commander Keen does not have a Ryu Number/has a Ryu Number of 3.

(explanation below)

At this point, the most well-known Commander Keen appearance is probably as a hung body in a secret level of Doom II: Hell on Earth.

...Or, more accurately, multiple hung bodies, which invalidates this appearance for this blog's purposes. So unless there's something more to the Bio Menace cameo, there's actually no way to link Commander Keen to Ryu.

Unless you're willing to assert that the poor fella whose has a Doom-styled Commander Keen helmet on his head in the 2016 DOOM game, which is a bit far of a stretch for my liking, even if the Doom Slayer is the Commander's descendant.
