Fangames under development - Cerebral Cortex 314

Fan-made games under development Completed or discontinued games

Commander Keen projects on this page are being or have been made by people who are NOT working with ID, Apogee, IonStorm, Softdisk, or FormGen. I will give downloads where possible, but if there is no download, don't email me asking for one, because I don't have one! Not every unofficial keen game makes this page. Only games that are worth the download or games in developement will be listed here. If a game was listed as being under developement but isn't good enough to make the released list once it is finished it will be linked on the bottom of the page so anyone who was interested can still locate it, but it will not continue to be featured. Please do not bother us if your game isn't on the list if we decide it isn't good enough. If you would like to see your game here please look at the bottom of the page for submission instructions.

Note that Commander Keen 1 MODs are not listed here, but at the MOD page.

Note: Certain DLLs are required to run the KNP (Klick 'n Play), CNC (Click 'n Create), and TGF (Games Factory) games. You may download those DLLs on the Downloads page.

Note from Flaose: This page is hopelessly out of date. Please check out the message board for newer fangames.

Commander Keen: The Lost Oracle Commander Keen is listening to his Photachyon Transciever. Suddenly, he hears a faint cry for help: "Sombody! Please! Help us! The Gannalech is coming to Gnosticus IV! Oh n-". Uh-oh, thinks Billy. Those old Oracle geezers are in trouble again. He hops in the Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket and sets off for Gnosticus IV.

Comments from the Author Engine is coming along slowly. I STILL need someone to do graphic work -- tile art, backgrounds, and enemies -- for the game. Please email me if you can do any of this.

Development of this game is slow because John is missing a graphic artist. Would YOU like to be famous? E-mail John now!

Project Title: Spork III

Spork III website

Spork III: Code of the Sporkia Now that all distractions are out of the way, Keen is free to go to Kalorkian VII and stop the evil Sporkians from taking over the galaxy.

Comments The game's assets aren't in the quality of the art (which is good but not great) nor in the engine (it uses CNC so it's jerky and has sluggish maneuvering) but in the interesting additions thrown in. In the Spork III demo keen dons a jet pack, and I'm sure in the full version he'll do even more.. Be sure to check out Spork III, it's far and away the best of the 3 and is most worth the download out of all of them.

Commander Keen 8 Mort builds a second machine to destroy the Galaxy, makes keen think it's on one planet when it's on another, then: chaos.

Comments I visited the site, read the story, wasn't impressed. However, I have heard some things that sound contrary to what's on the site and so it might be worth downloading when it comes out. I don't know. -eK Download Keen 8 Beta

August 2002: It is now over three years since the beta was released, and this project seemed dead. However, Brandon Walderman e-mailed us and let us know that the project is still going strong and close to completion. -- Cho'gall

Jungle Commander Keen

Billy Blaze had recently saved the Golden Tablet from the possesion of the evil Korath's, but he still needed to rescue his pogo from the vault it was hidden in in the Korath Home Base. The Base only opened its doors with a retina scan, voice ID, and footprint of a Korath official. After a little bit of hacking Billy mangaged to figure out that there was an emergency entrance that opened with ten special keys hidden in certain areas of the surrounding jungle that were guarded by strange jungle men (see enemies). Billy immediately hopped into his Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket and flew off to the strange dangerous jungles of Korath I.
