Commander Keen
Commander Keen is a classic side-scrolling platformer game developed by id Software in 1990. It follows the adventures of Billy Blaze, an eight-year-old boy who has created a high-tech spaceship and set out to explore the universe. The game was first released for MS-DOS and was one of the earliest successful video games of its kind.
The success of the Commander Keen series led to the creation of four more episodes, each with its own unique storyline and set of levels. The game was known for its humor, with Billy's antics and the various creatures he encounters on his travels providing much of the game's humor. The graphics and sound effects were also praised for their time, making the game a standout title in the crowded platformer genre of the early 1990s.
Commander Keen has been praised for its influence on the video game industry, with many developers citing it as an inspiration for their own work. The game remains a cult classic to this day and continues to be a popular title among fans of classic platformers. Although the original game is now over 30 years old, its popularity endures, and it remains one of the most iconic and beloved platformers of all time.
