Game Pile: The Universe Is Toast!

You might think that I have said everything there is to say about Commander Keen. After all, I wrote a series of articles about it, then I wound up making a video that only bothers me a massive amount because I left a whole audio track muted and in the process left the game music completely silent, gosh dangit. That video covers the first trilogy of Keen games, then the second duology and the two standalones. That is after all all the Keen games that exist, right?

Well, sort of and also no.

Commander Keen was something a lot of folk liked as kids and a lot of that liking as kids meant that it became a hobby as an adult. Some of us speedrun it, some of us write lengthy video essays, some write fanfiction and some of us, some of us, worked out how to break the game open and mod whole episodes of the game into existence.

Now, before I proceed, this is a free mod. This is the indie-est of indie projects, and you might imagine this means I’m going to be super gentle about something or other. Do not worry about that. This free mod for a commercial set of games has its roughness, but it is a game I think worth considering in its own right.

Commander Keen - Le code source enfin libéré pour les 35 ans du jeu qui a lancé id Software

fed.brid.gy/r/https://korben.i

<p><strong>Commander Keen</strong>, je pense que pas grand monde ne s'en souvient car c'est tellement vieux !! Pour vous rafraichir la mémoire, c'est ce petit gamin au casque de football américain et sa pogo stick qui fait des bonds partout !</p>
<p>Si ça vous parle c'est que vous êtes assez vieux pour avoir connu les débuts d'id Software. Alors vous serez content d'apprendre qu'un passionné du nom de K1n9_Duk3 vient de libérer le code source &quot;reconstruit&quot; des épisodes 1 à 3, pile pour les 35 ans de la série.</p>
<p>Avec ce projet, si vous compilez le code source avec les bons outils d'époque, vous obtiendrez des exécutables 100% identiques aux originaux. Identiques au bit près une fois compressés avec LZEXE ou PKLITE et cela mes amis, ça veut dire que K1n9_Duk3 a réussi à reconstituer exactement ce que John Carmack et sa bande avaient codé en 1990, simplement en analysant les binaires.</p>
<p>J'vous passe les détails techniques que
<a href="https://pckf.com/viewtopic.php?t=18248">vous pouvez retrouver ici</a>
, mais sachez que si vous voulez compiler tout ça, vous aurez besoin de Turbo C++ 1.00 (et surtout pas la 1.01 qui génère du code légèrement différent !) ainsi que Turbo Assembler 2.0 ou supérieur.</p>
<p>Et ce qui est amusant dans l'histoire, c'est que le code de Keen 1-3 réutilise pas mal de bouts de Dangerous Dave, The Catacomb et Hovertank, des projets sur lesquels les futurs fondateurs d'id Software bossaient quand ils étaient encore employés chez Softdis

👾 Ah, behold, the 21st-century digital archeologists! 🕵️‍♂️ They've reconstructed the source code of Commander Keen 1-3, because apparently, that's the pinnacle of human achievement in 2023. 🏆 Let's gather 'round and marvel at the relentless pursuit of the utterly irrelevant! 🚀
