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.
