Pogo injuries would be through the roof. Pogo Corp's influence will be unbounded, our hospitals would be overloaded, and productivity would be down thanks to the broken limbs and everyone having to restart the day at the first injury.

Also Green Bay Packers would be #1.

I imagine fending off an alien invasion of Earth. Using the gps to locate alien landing patries and defeating them via Neural Stunner mini game. Collecting candies, key gems, and other items, perhaps via pogo mini game. Using key gems to open doors to access and destroy alien tantalus stations. Not sure how to work in other planets. Perhaps they could use the same maps/gps info with just a different graphical skin for the environment and different spawns, changed via portal or BwB transport.

It's a fun idea

Actually yeah, I can see something like that kinda working, but I feel that AR games as a whole should be within a safe and finite space.
[offtopic]If there's anything I've learned from all the Pokemon Go news it's that the players seem incapable of understanding that they are playing a game in the real world, where they are so busy chasing after invisible sprites they can't tell when they're on a busy road or trespassing on private property. Pokemon Go, and really any open world AR game, can actually lead to genuine real world consequences if the players aren't careful.[/offtopic]

I swear it was aliens! There were a group of people 'just walked by my house, all wall eyed staring at their phones. they gathered 'round that old memorial nearby and started chanting weird words like pokegym and Pee-ka-choo.

I don't remember Keen ever looking frightened, except in a few title graphics. Did the designer never play Keen and just assume those titles were representative of the entire game?

For the 25th Commander Keen Anniversary, we've got a Commander Keen themed level for Super Mario Maker by Tom Hall and NOTHING from id software!

For Sonic's 25th Anniversary, SEGA announced Sonic Mania - a 2D pixelated throwback to the classic Sonic series! Back to the roots with 16 bit graphics, new engine with classic physics and more awesomeness. It's just done right! The sequel we all wanted, but never had! SEGA finally did it right!!!

While I'm excited about the upcoming new Sonic game, I'm sad that nothing is coming for Commander Keen

It's only done right because SEGA are not actually making it and competent people are working on it.
