  A Commander Keen 3D game would be nice, but as it stands there's a definite 
set of complications preventing it.  I think it goes something like this: id 
made it, Apogee owns the rights, and Tom Hall (the original creator) works at 
Ion Storm.  Unless there's a major shift in the development community, or 
someone puts out a "startlingly similar" game, it's not going to happen.
  As for a 3D Paganitzu, I think Montezuma's Return probably fits the bill 
(I've never really played Paganitzu, though, so I'm not a definite 
authority).  Just make sure you've got some nice machinery to handle it; 
either you'll want to be in 3Dfx land, or you'll want a Pentium II.  I've got 
a P2/300 myself, and I'm in 512x384!  It does play well though, and there are 
some nice effects.
