New article on Commander Keen

Recommended Posts

I don't know if anybody else posted this (if they did, my apologies), but here's a recent write-up Hardcore Gaming 101 did on Commander Keen.

I didn't know the later Keens were CGA compatible. Kind of reminds me how Wolf3D was supposed to support EGA. Does DOSBox allow you to set the video adapter?

Yes. Although I'm sure you can generally set the games themselves to use a specific video mode. For Keen games however I recall that there were special CGA versions released for some of them, they never had that all-in-one Hercules/CGA/Tandy/EGA deal of older games, so running EGA-only versions with the adapter restricted to CGA will just fail miserably. You need to get the special CGA versions of anything that catches your fancy.
