It is a fun adventure in space. It reminds me of "Lost in Space." I wish it were a little bit longer and had more places to go to and explore. All in all, though, a good game.
Great Game

I have played all the commander keen games, and I'm glad they made a new one. This was a very fun game, and commander keen fan's should try out this game.
I didn't know there was a Game Boy version

I haven't played the GameBoy version, only the PC version. It was so much fun, however, that when I was a little kid I played it on my computer all the time. The only dissapointment was that you get killed if you get hurt just once.
Fun game!

I have got the pc version of this game and I must say, It is a little kiddish. But - very very fun. Get it. If you are bored, or in the car, pick up commander keen. It will provide hours of gameboy shooting and jumping and running. A definate 5-star!

I loved Commander Keen so much because as soon as I finished one game I had to finish another.
They don't make them like they used to...

As an avid fan of the older PC games like the original 2D Duke Nukem, Crystal Caves, Secret Agent, and others, I was very much into the Commander Keen series. Apogee and ID made 6 titles under the Commander Keen name, and Softdisk made Keen Dreams, a strange offshoot of the series.
So, several years later when they released this for the Game Boy Color, I decided to pick it up. It was cheap, and how bad could it be?
Well, bad is an understatement. Although the game features enemies and locations reminiscent of Keen 4-6, the game plays completely different. The pogo stick jumps different, the ray gun shoots different, and the lackluster stages and frustrating platforming will have you losing most of your lives in just a few short minutes.
To me, this isn't Keen, and this isn't worth the money.
