Welcome to Commander Genius

Commander Genius is a software piece that interprets the Commander Keen Invasion of the Vorticons and Galaxy series. As fans and developers, we are, 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.

NOTE: We are currently looking for fans of Commander Keen, developers, or artists who are interested in helping us. If someone wants to make a better interpreter for the Invasion of the Vorticons Series (Also Galaxy series, Dreams, and mods or maybe any other DOS game) they are more than welcome to help us. Just drop our project leader an email message at: gerstrong@gmail.com

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. ;-)
