DOS version
The new-look Commander Keen is a hit!
The Good
The fourth game in the series was the first to use the new graphics engine. Very slick, and much more controllable. Now if you just missed a jump, Keen could grab onto the edge and pull himself up. Very nice.
This game is a classic - the pyramids, the tar-pits, the secret passages, the slugs - and the inch worms were great. Good story and good puzzles - an all time classic.
The Bad
I didn't much like the underwater bit.
The Bottom Line
A classic - if you're old enough to appreciate it.
