What on earth IS this?

It's highly irregular to say the least. Looks like a blatant ripoff of the Commander Keen name to get people to buy a stupid little space shooter featuring Captain Kirk.

Wiki wrote:[...] It is strange that Commander Keens Trek 96 was published at all, given that not only did it infringe on id Software's Commander Keen copyright, but also infringed on the Star Trek copyright, which Paramount Pictures is known to protect vigorously [...]

Well here you are! Guess I should have checked the wiki first.
What on earth was that marketing department thinking?
Bob: Sir, we've done several studies and found that software marked "Commander Keen" tends to sell well. Let's mark our software "Commander Keen" and see what happens!
Joe: What's Commander Keen?
Bob: I don't know, but apparently it makes software sell so let's do it.
Edit: saw your edit. Aha.

Re: This is strange
LGR got a copy of the game, unsurprisingly. Turns out the same people behind CK's Trek 96 were responsible for a similar rip of Jazz Jackrabbit IP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=469Br9JIrG4
Oh, and 486, could you please add the name of the game to this thread's title? Sorry to ask, I just think more descriptive titles make navigation easier for members and will prevent duplicate topics being created.

Too late. Might as well link to the new thread to avoid even more confusion: https://pckf.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4123Keening_Product wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2017 16:14 Oh, and 486, could you please add the name of the game to this thread's title?
