Start/About

Welcome to Commander Genius

Commander Genius is a software piece that interprets the Commander Keen and Cosmos the Cosmic Adventure series. As fans and developers we try to implement new features, improve the gameplay and give players an experience that feels like playing the original game but a bit more refreshing.

Darkness

The right hand image that you see is Commander Keen in a dark room when playing the game normally under DOS (or for example DOS-Box). To the left you see the room using Commander Genius. Quite the difference, huh?! The darkness depends on the difficulty, so watch your step. ;-)

Requirements

You need the original DOS game files in order to play on Commander Genius. Commander Keen: Marooned on Mars and Secret of the Oracle as shareware are not included. But you can download them through the internal Commander Genius Game Store at no cost. Commander Keen: The Earth Explodes and Commander Keen: Keen Must Die! are registered versions which can be purchased from 3D Realms, Apogee, or purchased from someone willing to sell you their copy, same goes for Keen 5 and 6. If you happen to have these old games, then give Commander Genius a try!
