Commander Keen 6
So I discovered this forum today and found a few things missing from the games list that I thought I could provide.
First off, I rummaged through my floppies collection and dredged up the install disks for Commander Keen 6: Aliens Ate My Babysitter!
Read the guidelines.
Pre-2000? Check.
Not shareware/freeware? Check. (Although it includes a demo of Commander Keen 4, which is shareware.)
Original format? sure, I can do that, I got RawWrite.
Or so I thought. Disk 1 fails a CRC. Disk 3 has multiple read errors.
Then I try to read Disk 1 again. Windows asks if I want to format A:. Shit. I'm sure attempting to read these dusty neglected disks caused them to fail. (Observation changes the outcome. How quantum-mechanical.)
Oh well. I'm not going to ask that you break your guidelines so I can make an offer (especially in my first post on these boards), I just wanted to share this sorta-funny-sorta-not story. Next time, I'll try to find some original media that work.
