| | Gamebits: Commander Keen |
 | | Commander Keen does offer some good challenges and teases your brain, but it's also a very frustrating game requiring pin-point jumping dexterity when you least expect it and the character is frequently difficult to control in a fashion for which the Game Boy Color's control scheme isn't really suited. | | | Fans of Commander Keen who are nostalgic for the young hero might find this game worth a peek just to see him in action again; however, I think the average Game Boy player won't find anything in Commander Keen for GBC worth raising a fuss over. | | | When a player loses a life, Keen will start at the last point before the mishap that caused his demise, even if an enemy is "right on top of him." The player has a few seconds to orient himself after he reappears, but may have to act quickly lest he get knocked out again. |

| | 3D Realms Site: A Look Back at Commander Keen |
| | Commander Keen was id Software's first big game, and along with the original Duke Nukem (released in 91), Apogee Software was recognized as the place to go to for hot, shareware games. | | | Keen (like every other Apogee title) was released under the (at the time) unheard of concept of giving away part of your game for free. | | | This article tells the story of Commander Keen - how it was made, what the people behind it felt, and some things you may never have known before about the game. |

| | Standard Galactic Alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The player first discovers the alphabet in the first Commander Keen game, Marooned on Mars, where Keen telepathically hears an alien inside a shrine say: "It is too bad you cannot understand the Standard Galactic Alphabet, human.". | | | Also in Keen 3 a sign with the complete SGA can be found in the secret level, similar to the Rosetta Stone. | | | Especially Keen 3 was helpful, since it has a relatively large number of signs including both SGA and Roman letters. |

| | GameBoy VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... Commander Keen __________ |
| | The graphics in Commander Keen are crisp and, while the animations of the various enemies are simple, there's enough of them to go around. | | | The adventure is big, there's a lot to do, and the game's good enough to keep you coming back for more, trying to optimize your score and minimize your deaths. | | | It's a lot of difficult action, and the younger gamer may become frustrated with some of the amazingly difficult action sequences, but for those who persevere there's a lot of fun to be had with this game. |

| | Commander Keen (Game Boy Color) Reviews. Legacy game platforms Reviews by CNET. |
| | Following in the same traditions that spawned Duke Nukem and Jazz Jackrabbit, Commander Keen is a side-scrolling action game that places great emphasis on precision jumping and the split-second shooting of enemies. | | | Not just an acquired taste, Commander Keen was always better suited to a platform where instant save games could make up for its frantic gameplay and cranked difficulty. | | | To the game's undying credit, Keen's pogo stick and four-way blaster make it a more enjoyable Game Boy Color port than last year's release of Duke Nukem. |

| | CloneKeen - Open source Commander Keen 1-3 clone |
| | You will probably want to add the command line parameter '-dbl' when you execute the game, or you will end up playing in a tiny window. | | | It's an almost almost complete clone of one of my favorite classic DOS games, Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons by ID. The game uses SDL and is generally very easy to port to most platforms. | | | If anyone is interested in creating a freeware graphics/level/sound set so that CloneKeen can run independently of the commerical game, or making a Keen mod/new episode based off of CloneKeen, I think that would be just really groovy too. |
