Apparently they sold 2-6 until recently - people were buying 1991 software?

Keens 2, 3, 5, & the full version of 6 are commercial software, and it is not legal to download them from anywhere.

Actually, I think I'm going to go buy it now... it's been too long since I've played Keen.

I bought the bundle a few months ago. The steam start process made the game wonky, so instead of going through the steam client, I made this batch file (for the 4th game):

    @echo off
    cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Commander Keen\base4
    dosbox keen4e.exe -conf keen4.conf -exit
    exit
The configuration file in question was modified, and these are the changes from the default that you might find useful, in the following sections:

    [sdl]
    output=ddraw
And this one:

    [render]
    scaler=normal3x
