Actually, it is called "Commander Keen". It is a pretty neat game, somewhat like Mario, with good graphics and animation. It can be challenging too. It is part of a Trilogy of games, of which only the first part is distributed as Shareware. I'll see what I can do with them...I also have another Apogee game called Dark Ages, which is more like Mario... -- ======================================================================= Brian O'Neill - Systems Manager, Computer Science, University of Lowell Internet: oneill@ulowell.edu (508) 934-3645 UUCP: harvard!ulowell!oneill
