I thought I'd revive this, since the same guy is still selling games from black & white software (although sporadically), and I actually bought Keen 4-6 to get a look at what was on the disks.

Keen 4 is the Apogee-published shareware version 1.1, and was compiled on 3/23/1992 (although it has an extra go.bat file).

Keen 5 is version 1.0, compiled on 12/15/1991 (with an extra go.bat file).

Keen 6 is version 1.4 and comes with some stuff that my other 1.4 doesn't have:

An "a" local disk file
chklist.cps
config.ck6
go.bat
savegam0.ck6

It appears that the publisher played the game before printing the disks (compiled on 2/12/1993).

Trying to set a high score ad, maybe.
Keening_Product was defeated before the game.

You'd think they'd just hack the scores file.

Clearly this person isn't so bright.

Any idea what chklist.cps or the "a" file do?
