	Standard Galactic Alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Standard Galactic Alphabet, also known as its TLA SGA, is the writing system used to depict Omnispeak, the alien language of choice in the galaxy in the Commander Keen fictional universe.
		After that he added other signs saying "hi" and "this is neat" (near rayguns), and he ended up creating conversions for the other letters of the Latin alphabet in order for the signs to resemble writings in an alien language.
		Also in Keen 3 a sign with the complete SGA can be found in the secret level, similar to the Rosetta Stone.

	3D Realms Site: A Look Back at Commander Keen
		Commander Keen was id Software's first big game, and along with the original Duke Nukem (released in 91), Apogee Software was recognized as the place to go to for hot, shareware games.
		Keen (like every other Apogee title) was released under the (at the time) unheard of concept of giving away part of your game for free.
		Keen Dreams is often referred by folks as the "lost episode" of Keen.

	Gamebits: Commander Keen
		Commander Keen's various adventures against the Vorticons, Shikadi, Bloogs, and his rival Mortimer McMire were extremely popular, to the tune of 6 episodes and a couple of follow-ups (it became commercial software around 1991).
		Commander Keen does offer some good challenges and teases your brain, but it's also a very frustrating game requiring pin-point jumping dexterity when you least expect it and the character is frequently difficult to control in a fashion for which the Game Boy Color's control scheme isn't really suited.
		Fans of Commander Keen who are nostalgic for the young hero might find this game worth a peek just to see him in action again; however, I think the average Game Boy player won't find anything in Commander Keen for GBC worth raising a fuss over.

	GameBoy VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... Commander Keen __________\|
		The graphics in Commander Keen are crisp and, while the animations of the various enemies are simple, there's enough of them to go around.
		It's a lot of difficult action, and the younger gamer may become frustrated with some of the amazingly difficult action sequences, but for those who persevere there's a lot of fun to be had with this game.
		Not a lot more can be said about Commander Keen's gameplay: it's precisely what you've come to expect from a platformer.

	Yet another Commander Keen page :) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Now the beta 1.0 of my Keen 1-3 editor is up: it's mostly functional; the source code has more functionality but it's too big for QuickBasic to compile, so I'll have to take a few days converting it to C and then I'll make the release 1.0 version available here.
		For those Commander Keen experts out there, this level is for you: I'd rate the difficulty as Very Hard (8/10).
		Update: I have been told that Keen Dreams never actually shipped with music do to space limitations (they should have left out all that silly softdisk stuff :) -- also that track 7 is the "game over" tune from Keen 5; but track 13 is still unknown.

	Commander Keen (Game Boy Color) Reviews. Legacy game platforms Reviews by CNET.
		Following in the same traditions that spawned Duke Nukem and Jazz Jackrabbit, Commander Keen is a side-scrolling action game that places great emphasis on precision jumping and the split-second shooting of enemies.
		For that matter, this release of Commander Keen already has a few additional background objects and animations, so it's baffling why nothing more was done.
		Not just an acquired taste, Commander Keen was always better suited to a platform where instant save games could make up for its frantic gameplay and cranked difficulty.

		Let me know if you would like to help with this project; anything you may have to add is very welcome.
		You will probably want to add the command line parameter '-dbl' when you execute the game, or you will end up playing in a tiny window.
