Where can I download Commander Keen 6?

Post by adurdin »

Obtaining Keen 6:

Keen episode 6 is not shareware, so it cannot be freely distributed. Unfortunately, it is no longer available for sale, except secondhand. Try looking on eBay or other online trading sites to find it.

Updating Keen 6

If you already have Keen 6, but some mods or patches don't work, you probably have version 1.0. The latest version is 1.4, which fixes a few bugs. But you don't need to purchase another copy: Xtraverse has made some patches that you can freely download to update Keen 6 v1.0 to v1.4 and Keen 6 CGA v1.4 to EGA v1.4. This second patch is useful if you have the ID Anthology, which only includes a CGA version of Keen 6.

Not directly; it just searchs it from eBay and so on.. That place doesn't sell it.

i just (today) won a copy of the ID anthology on Ebay. For anyone who wants to know pricing, mine was $63. There was another one they were selling at the time which If i had bid on and won would have been about $170.

Oh, and if you see "Jump and Run Games- all the latest editions" with a copy of keen6 in it on ebay, DON'T BUY IT. ITS ALL SHAREWARE. You can download everything on it for free legally.

I don't feel safe with E-bay. You never know if you'll actually get what you bought. Also, on Id's site, they claim to sell keen 6, but it looks like KEen 5 to me

Sorry if I reply to such a old post, but the links that allow you to download the patch in order to update Keen 6 are no more available.

Now where I can download it?
