Commander Keen 1 (Amstrad GX4000)

Commander Keen โ€“ GX4000 Edition ๐Ÿš€ Marooned on Marsโ€ฆ again, 35 years later! Commander Keen is coming to the Amstrad GX4000! Back in the early โ€™90s, after spending years with my Amstrad CPC and completely skipping the Amiga, one of the first platform games I discovered on MS-DOS was Commander Keen. 35 years later, I never imagined Iโ€™d see it running on an Amstrad GX4000! What started as a simple proof of concept to explore the capabilities of this often-underestimated console has turned into something much bigger: a nearly complete port of Commander Keen: Episode One โ€“ Marooned on Mars. And yes, it actually runs on the GX4000! ๐ŸŽฎ About the Game Join Billy Blaze, better known as Commander Keen, as he explores Mars, dodges dangerous creatures, and searches for the missing parts of his spaceship.
