Why is this page displayed in black and white?
Mods are total remakes of the Keen games - the only thing left is the engine, which is the original Keen 1,2 or 3 engine. So a mod is actually like an unofficial Keen game, however, since they use the original engine, they can be considerably easier both to make and to play: The person making the game doesn't have to hassle about programming the engine, while a player familiar with the Keen games will find it easy to manoeuver since it works the same way as the other Keen games.
If you make a mod, e-mail
Cho'gall and we'll feature it here.
If you want to make one, but don't know how, visit the Editing
Keen page.
| Commander Keen in Yorphius II, by KeenRush | This is the very first mod to be made with ModKeen. An official review will be coming soon. To run this mod, unzip all the files into a directory that already has a working Keen 1 installed. | Download |
| Commander Keen: Episode X by Xkylyr Rauh |
This mod has received great praise from the general public and I have to agree. Xky has put a lot of work into this game and has carefully used all the possibilities of the Keen 1 engine in a very inventive way. The level design is great - this game is comparable to the original Keen 1 in quality. The only reproach I have is the sometimes excessive use of dark coloured tiles. To run it, unzip the files into a Keen directory and run XKYKEEN.BAT. | Download |
