  Wouldn't that be worse, seeing as how he works for Ion Storm?  Anyhow, I 
think you guys at 3D Realms, or maybe just Apogee, ought to do it.  Isn't 
Commander Keen an Apogee property?  That doesn't preclude you guys from 
talking to Romero, Hall or any of the original crew, of course.
  By the way, if it IS done, what engine would you prefer to use?  The Quake 
II engine, as with DNF, would get it done more quickly, but the Prey engine 
would let you use more tricks, like trap doors on the floor that drop you out 
of the ceiling!  If the public liked it enough, they could even create a 
"Keen Web," dozens of levels that link to each other, all across the planet.  
I imagine the Apogee server would be a very watery one full of Dopefish 
(), while a UK server would have lots of Spuds from Keen Dreams (meat & 
potatoes).
