Contact me (no stupid questions about how to win a 
level, either) at lordoftheferrets@hotmail.com

best email is something describing a level and WHY it is
impossible to do. I think everything works but it might not
be perfect just yet.

DO NOT MODIFY THESE FILES WITHOUT MY PERMISSION
YOU MAY SEND THEM TO ANYONE PROVIDED THIS README FILE IS
 ENCLOSED AND YOU SEND ALL 16, NOT JUST A HANDFUL.

--------HOW TO USE THESE FILES----------------------------

Copy your Commander Keen 1 files into a seperate directory
(try: xcopy *.* C:\keencust   , at the DOS prompt, while 
in your Keen directory (usually C:\KEEN1).

Now take these files from wherever you unzipped them to
(probably C:\UNZIPPED), and move them to the backup keen
diretory, eg move *.ck1 C:\keencust    . Then just go there
and run Keen1.exe

--- WHAT'S SO NEAT ABOUT THESE FILES? --------------------

Simply put, these were made with KeenMakeover by Geoff Sims
and Peder Johnson. I tried to create the most challenging
levels that I could. I also moved around some of the 
treasures, and the teleporters. There are no "hints"
either, so you get to figure things out on your own!

Most of the levels are 1-way scrollers (up or sideways),
but 6 or 7 of them are 2-way scrollers. I did one way more
often because KMO was a bit clunky and often had problems 
with larger files.

By the way, these are no fun if you cheat!! They are 
designed to be played by someone who likes the challenge of 
a good thorough exploration. Most fun is trying to get the
POGO -- you need it for some levels, but I hid it DEEP in
2 levels for you to find. It's more fun to try to get it 
honestly.

Almost all levels are do-able. I have beta tested them
both in God mode AND when vulnerable. There might be one
tricky spot with some Vorticons (2 in a pit by a key you
need), but the rest I guarantee works.

now go play Keen!!
