Commander Keen source code released

Slightly related (from the same era). But the composer for the music for Unreal, Unreal tournament, Deus Ex, Tyrian, Jazz Jackrabbit and others has a music bundle for sale.

I'm getting old, if people refer to Deus Ex and Command Keen as being from the same era.

Keen 1 was 1990, deus ex was 2000. Says how far PC gaming went in those 10 years, eh? It understates it, even, since Keen was a great technical achievement, while Deus Ex had unremarkable graphics - the game sold on a great fusion of rpg and fps, not graphics.

Ha yeah, good point. I meant something else in my head and it got lost when translated to the keyboard.

Holy crap - I'm not normally one that gets super nostalgic over chiptunes, but the compositions in Tyrian were brilliant. Definitely getting that.

Ah, thanks for this. I've had Jazz Jackrabbit 3's ImpulseTrackers for ages, but never knew/bothered to find out who the composer was. I had no idea he'd worked up an official album for it.

Thanks for the heads up! Really geeking out on Tyrian and JJ3.
