The boxart looks bootleggy, but I would've said the same thing about the Aliens ate my Babysitter boxart.


I want it.

Looks like it was done by the guy who drew those awful Jill of the Jungle and Ken's Labyrinth box arts.

Google image search it yourself.

Apparently UAV Software is legit.

A quick google search says that they release stuff that is public domain, considering that Keen 4 is shareware, it's no surprise.

Is that just Keen 4 for $100?

Yes. This is called capitalism.

Specifically seeing how many fools out there have money.

I am one of those fools!!!

I might actually bid on this. I'm feeling pretty rich right now.
Plus if I host a super awesome amazing mod contest, I'd like to have prizes for the top 3 winners. This might be good. The cover art is a downer, but the back of the box looks okay. I suppose I should save up for the source code release kickstarter, eh?

Bid for the IP!

TSK, have you been able to verify this is legit?

The ebay item or the source code kickstarter? Certainly not any kickstarter concerning the source code. No, that's definitely not a thing. Hopefully it is released without the cost of a penny. But hey. All this money might not be worth anything in a year. Who knows? I don't.

You'd pay for this?

So like, if I make a bunch of copies of Keen 1 and 4 on floppies, and print out various boxes of terrible quality for them, would you buy them from me?

...Hey, ScarletFlame, would you like to start a business with me?
