About
CloneKeen is a project I've been developing off and on since 2003. It's an almost almost complete clone of one of my favorite classic DOS games, Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons by ID. The game uses SDL and is generally very easy to port to most platforms. Thanks to efforts from a number of people around the net a growing number of systems are supported. Although it's not 100% finished, it is getting pretty close and is definitely a very playable game. Let me know
if you would like to help with this project; anything you may have to add is very welcome.
News
01/27/06 Since my last update two very cool console ports have been created. See the platforms section for more info.
11/10/18 Beta 8.3 is released! Get it now! 11/10/05 Chris Hilton has ported CloneKeen to Linux! I've integrated his changes into the current devel code and it'll be released with 8.3. 11/01/05 I've noticed I've been getting more web hits than sourceforge hits, so a simple web page is up now with some screenshots, cause I know I like to see screenshots before I download something.

This lists all current ports of CloneKeen that I'm aware of. If you release your own port please let me know so I can put it here. See comments in download section.
You will probably want to add the command line parameter '-dbl' when you execute the game, or you will end up playing in a tiny window. Some people can get away with just '-fs' and get fullscreen, depending on your platform and video driver (if you still get a small window when using '-fs', try '-fs -dbl'). Download
You can download CloneKeen from the SourceForge file release servers at http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonekeen/.
If you make any changes to the code or release a new port, please email me to let me know so I can put it up on this page. This will provide a centralized place for people to find out about all the ports of CloneKeen, and also help prevent development from getting overly forked.
