Your Favorite Keen Mods!
My top 3 favorite Keen mods would probably have to be Commander Keen in Halloween Horrors, the UIT series, and Zoltan's Revenge.
How about you?
How about you?
Levellass is essentially part of the Keen 9 team, since her contributions are vital and she's given valuable feedback on various stages of the mod I've sent her. Aside from Mink, Tulip and I, she's seen more than anyone else.
My favorite mods:
A New Dope: challenging levels, great graphics, and collecting IQ jars is an awesome game mechanic.
Aliens vs Keen: Great levels and the graphics really lend to the alien atmosphere.
Keen Null: Awesome graphics, the levels are good and really reflect the ship environment.
Keen X: It's a classic.
Monky Business Beta: Awesome mystical/mysterious setting, the graphics are awesome, the levels are hard but memorable.
Norp the Yorp 3: Brain Damage: Really like the graphics.
Mods I'm 'most' looking forward too:
Zoltan's Revenge
Where is Everybody
The Keen Community Mod
Freaking-Never-Gonna-Be-Released Monky Business

Episode Smile hands down.
Others I always name are Keen Y (best dark atmosphere in any keen mod, that could probably be surpassed by Zoltan's) and Keen Q
Also the Decree of the Skree Trilogy always has been a personal favourite, as well as the Christmas Special 2004. [EDIT] Oh man can't believe I forgot Save the Quillsheep.
Looking forward mostly to shikadi's next release (while I haven't finished his uber-hard Keen S yet),[EDIT] and forgot: Clones of Evil 2, Banana Mod

Do not be so modest. Not only is Keen X one of the first Keen mods, but even after all this time, it is STILL one of the best mods there are and it is one of the few non-Galaxy games I have played more than a handful of times. So coming from me that is saying a lot.XkyRauh wrote:That's because KeenX isn't very good. It's a fossil.

Mods:
Ceilick's TUIT: pretty much obligatory since they're so good
Save the Quillsheep: My favorite Xky mod, even if it is only a mini. Great incorporation of enemies into inventive puzzles.
Keen Null: Still the gold standard for Vorticons mods, IMKO. Such a good use of the tileset, and excellent themed-levels.
Episode Smile: After making it all the way through thanks to newish DOSBox save states (no there is still no way my Vorticons Keening skills have improved enough to let me pass the first couple levels without those), I've gotta agree with Tulip. The scrub-puzzles where you you have to guide your buddy through are brilliant, I was sad I couldn't take it with me through the exit (Valve totally robbed KR for the Companion Cube).
Levelpacks:
CK Guys Keen 5 Levelpack: Easily the most inventive and best levelpack I've played to-date. Ghost Town and the double-toggle bridge are just too cool.
Keen Asylum: The Volte-Pede is quite possibly one of my favorite levels since the concept's so cool (the tedious platform switch puzzle near Robo Red later in that level, not so much). And it's neat seeing the areas where this inspired CKGK5LP.
The MrBlack Pack: A rare Vorticons pack where the levels are better than the originals, but I still have yet to beat it. Perhaps I shall take another stab at it one of these days...
