Out of the Keen games 1-5, this is only one I could never beat as a kid. They kept blowing up the world before I could finish. I always used to wonder what the failure conditions were, and if it was even possible to win. Thank you for finally settling that question for me.

God, before Doom, before Quake, I spent so much time playing all of these!!

Yeah, that was kind of messed up. When the person playing this sees that message, it's like he starts going out of his way to shoot as many Vorticons as possible. =[

The wise Vorticon never jumps in the dark. In fact, even unwise Vorticons will not jump in darkness.

Oh that sound brings me back!

After so many years, I found the game I played as a child, and hell I'm so happy right now. I never was able to finish the game when I was 3 years old because I found it pretty difficult. I got my n64 at the age of 4 and maybe thats why I forgot the name but damn, this brings me good memories.

been playing it at the age of 2.5 and all of these colours felt like magic

The first Keen was the best. The other Episodes are all nice and fun to play, but none comes close to the atmosphere of the first game!

I agree that the atmosphere in the first game is great. You really feel like you are exploring Martian cities. Keen 6 is my personal favorite, I think they nailed the same kind of atmosphere in that one

I absolutely loved this series as a kid. thanks so much for doing a playthrough of it.

Elizabeth L. That's good to hear. This week I've been sharing videos of the sequel of this game; Commander Keen Dreams. I'm sure you'll love these videos too.

I definitely will. The whole series is really close to my heart. Definitely got me into gaming as a kid. I think Secret of the Oracle is still my favorite.

Keen: *Sees alot of vorticon babies.* HOLY SHRIMP! 19:48

I only had Commander Keen 1 and 4 as a kid but I recently got the whole series on Steam. This is a good game but good lord, the last level is VERY frustrating! So many things you have to do just perfectly and sometimes the game glitches and one of the little red guys you need to jump on won't appear where you need him!

I also only had those 2 titles! I'm giving 2 & 3 a view now to piece them all together :-)

Great stuff. I only started playing this game and realized how hard it is compared to the well known Episode 1, which was shareware and available to most players.

I always thought the Vorticon mothership looked kinda like Falkor from The Neverending Story.

32:45 "no no no wait please don't shoot I'm so hungry I have not eaten in days please let me eat those juicy burgers as my final wish before you kill me like you killed all my friends please I beg you please no wait oh god no please AAAH!"

That robot killed a baby Vorticon!

Watching you play is almost like actually playing it, you go for every last piece of shit on the map. I have to do that too, lol

37:34 - Ah, so you have to leave very specific cans behind. I figured it was something like that, but got annoyed trying to figure out the exact pattern.

Do you really do this all in one take? Or do you edit together the clips of all the levels?

@Dosgamert

For some games I do complete runs, some others are spliced. For some games you can save in between levels and load them and edit that out. Reason I might do so is to show better gameplay instead of going in (semi-)blind with a chance of messing it up.

The level at 37:33 is so stupid, I've been trying to do exactly the same as you (jumping on the red guy to get the red cardkey) but the damn character just refuses to jump as high as usual, it keeps on doing a half assed jump for no reason, and I can't reach the platform. I had the hope that there was a different solution, but apparently I have to do that and I can't :/

Yes that was why! They stop jumping when the lights off, then they're easier too pass/kill.
