Why don't make a new version (based on older versions) of every OLDER GAMES for Win95 with a new graphic?
Sorry for my incomprehensible English...

There's no plans for that. I know we talked briefly about turning them all into a SNES cartridge, but that won't happen either.

How about porting these games to Linux...?

now THAT i agree with. RedHat Linux only though. http://3drealms.3dportal.com/ubb/images/icons/smile.gif

I don't see us porting these to anything. It costs time and money, and there's not enough of a viable market there for that.

And before someone asks, the reason id does it is that they are developed (or used to be) on Linux anyway, so it's a no brainer to put it on that platform.

Just give us the source codes for such games as keen4+ and I am sure some entusiasts will work wonders with them ala doom (http://www.doomworld.com)

I've never said it's not going to happen. It will happen some day. But that day is so far off, you might as well not bother asking, as it won't do any good.

That may be true, but I am friends with anyone in the industry who would be involved with another Keen.

"Oh come on, hows about a Colour Gameboy version of Keen"

A few months ago, John Carmack did write in one of his fingers updates that he was interested in the Gameboy Color and 2D side-scrollers games that could be made for it. He mentioned Commander Keen as being an option he was considering.

He and I know each other. I'd be lying if I said we were "close friends", but if I wanted to, I could call him and talk. We do like some music that's the same. http://3drealms.3dportal.com/ubb/images/icons/smile.gif

"Amused to Death"?
wow, i love it!!!!

i think the best move Waters did was to assign Jeff Beck as his guitarist. he needs a 'Guitar Hero' at his side, to create a dialog with his cracked voice http://3drealms.3dportal.com/ubb/images/icons/wink.gif

Roger Waters. We're both fans of his solo work - particularly the "Amused to Death" album.
