I don't know if this has ever been tried before, but what if the Keen Community snowballed id or whoever has the rights to Keen to give them or sell them to Tom Hall. If they won't give them up, everyone who can could contribute to buying it off them. I am tired of waiting. Tom's said that if he gets the rights we'll all get another Keen game. Isn't it worth it? Who is with me? What we need - (1) Approval of Tom Hall. I'm not on those terms with him, but a lot of you are. (2) A date and a time. I don't know how this should work - should everyone send messages at one time, or should they be spanned out by minutes, hours, or days? (3) Individual letters to ID expressing your will that they hand over the rights. If they're all the same, it's illegal. (All this might be illegal too, someone enlighten me.) (4) A target. Who at iD has the authority to hand over the rights? What's their e-mail? Anyone else? Join in the fight! Get us what every Keener longs for! Keen 7 THE UNIVERSE IS TOAST!!! -Korath III

They most likely wouldn't read the messages, and if they did, they would immediately go into the trash. As for buying the rights...unless one of us wins the lottery and has the foolish idea of doing so (instead of making a nice little nest-egg). I dunno about you, but I don't have a few hundred-thou to chuck around. -------------------- Cerebral Cortex 314 - For All of your Commander Keen Needs.

At the next Geek Convention where iD has their "Duke impersonator" strutting around, go along dressed up as Commander Keen, but have yourself chained to a big rock with "iD" written on it. Carry a sign saying "Free Commander Keen" or somesuch. "Too Much Spare Time" dot com is now powered by AllRandom!

Too Much Spare Time King Slug Posts: 391 (8/17/02 5:09 am) Reply	Shrooms Funny how iD software is responsible for bringing us "Mad Mushroom" from Keen IV and "Shrooms Mode" from Rise of the Triad. I'm starting to wonder about where those guys REALLY get their inspiration from. We find our heroes brainstorming the upcoming series of Keen, starting with "Keen Dreams" and leading into "Goodbye Galaxy"... "Heh heh heh. Whatif we, like, gave Commander Keen SUCTION CUPS for HANDS?" "Whoooaaaahhh man, spinny. Then he'd be, like... Commander Cone-Hands!" "Huh huh huh. Cone. Tom said cone. Cool. Cone. Hmheheh." "Hey you guys, look out the window! Carnivorous blue spheres with parachutes!" "Heh heh, Adrian's so wasted. Heheheheh." "Yeah." "Hey guys, guys, I know what we could put in the game!" "What is it, Tom?" "Um... I forgot. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" HAHAHAHAH "Tom, you're such a Dope, f'sure." "A dope-fish-or...what?" "Guys... I'm having this idea, here!" "What is it, Adrian?" "Well, how about... a FISH... but, really, really... DOPEY." "Wow. That would be, like, a 'Dope'... 'Fish'...." "Dope... Fish..." "Dope... Fish..." "..." "Dope... Fish.... Man, that is so deep. Write that down." "Man, I've got the munchies. Anyone got some food? I'm so hungry I could eat the universe on toast!" "You've always got the munchies, Bobby. You should just eat all your veggies for once." "Eat your veggies... Man.... that is so... PROFOUND... like. Write that down, too, John." "Heheheh We could make the Omegamatic look like Jason's bong." "Hmhmhmhehehehahaha! Yeah, then we could put his name in the credits!" HAHAHAHAH "Guys, I just realised something..." "Mh?" "Whatif, like, - just bear with me here guys - okay, whatif Mortimer McMire was a Shikadi?" "..." "Dude, you've had WAY too much weed." "Yeah, I'm off to get some pizza. Who's coming?" "Yeah, I'm hungry. Today has just been like 'spliff, spliff, hungry'. Burp" ----- "Too Much Spare Time" dot com is now powered by AllRandom! Edited by: Too Much Spare Time at: 8/17/02 5:10:12 am
