## Keen + Wolf + Quake + Justice = LMAO

So I happened to come across, in my travels, the shareware version of the original Commander Keen. I downloaded it and played around a bit for fun. 16-color EGA graphics and PC-Speaker sound ... 00rt, baby!

The rest of the game was only half as amusing as what I found under "Previews" at the main menu:

> COMING SOON FROM ID SOFTWARE

> As our follow-up to the Commander Keen trilogy, Id Software is working on
> "The Fight for Justice": a completely new approach to fantasy gaming. You
> start not as a weakling with no food--you start as Quake, the strongest,
> most dangerous person on the continent. You start off with a Hammer of
> Thunderbolts, a Ring of Regeneration, and a trans-dimensional artifact. Here
> the fun begins. You fight for Justice, a secret organization devoted to
> vanquishing evil from the land! This is role-playing excitement.

> And you don't chunk around the screen. "The Fight for Justice" contains fully
> animated scrolling backgrounds. All the people you meet have their own
> lives, personalities, and objectives. A 256-color VGA version
> will be available (smooth scrolling 256-color screens--fancy that)!

> And the depth of play will be intense. No more "whack whack here's some
> gold." There will be interesting puzzles and decisions won't be "yes/no" but
> complex correlations of people and events.

> "The Fight for Justice" will be the finest PC game yet.

I don't know about you, but I can't wait. Smooth scrolling 256-color screens ... fancy that! :D
