Nadril Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I've played duke and keen, never heard of kroz though. I actually broke down a week ago and bought the keen collection over steam for $5. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Militaris Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I have played the early duke nukem and Commander Keen. Played Ken a couple of years ago but it was not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromagus Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I've only vaguely heard of the Kroz games, but I've beaten both other series, repeatedly.

Icingdeath Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I bought the entire Keen series last year, I used to play them on floppy disks years back. Ownage. I really wouldn't call it an era. It was more of a definitive time period during which dinstinctive characteristics were expressed in similar ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromagus Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 A pretty good guideline would be the Oldwarez list... http://abandonia.com/main.php?nav=awlist It's not 100% complete, but it does cover a lot of ground as far as (potential) abandonware is concerned.

deskjethp Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Kroz is this qbasic style thing with a little smily face where you run around and try to get whips for weapons and gems as health and try to find the keys around the level to the stairs. You get chased by o's and a's and the occasional "u" around the screen who take your health. Every part of the series is available at various spots on the web like http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=2231... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordanFreeman Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I found my old Duke3D Plutonium Pack ROM disc, which had extras on it, including the first two games :P . Just had to dl a rom emulator...and I can't get the second one to work. But the first one's pretty good so far. : Oh, and to try and kinda add onto this thread... Anyone ever play Day of the Tentacle? \ "El que no arriesga no gana" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromagus Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I've played Day of the Tentacle from start to finish. It's worth playing for the "flag" cutscene at the end alone :P My Tip.It Times Articles (10 and counting) || The Varrock Library Author Index projectDo you dare to dream? - Part 19 added. || The Hospital (WIP) - New story!Necromagus looks like a viking ... with glasses.
