 DW> IF Roger = Fingas THEN Damien Wellman ELSE 3D vs. 2D
 RF> Side-scrollers are fun, but usually, they're mindless,

 DW>   Heh. Play Yoshi's Island and tell me that. :)
        So there are puzzles, strategy, and/or RPG elements?
 RF> Something akin to Mario 64 would be appropriate

 RF> action game (with its own unique touches).
 DW>  I don't think the whole atmosphere of Keen lends itself to the 3d
 DW>  action genre - that's why I mentioned Mario 64, as Keen has a similar
 DW>  feel (but not so much that I'd call it a clone) to the Mario games.
        The reason I suggested Keen as a 3D action game is that there 
virtually no games in the genre suitable for children ("Shoot, dear...no, the 
zombie won't get its head back...").  A "Keen 64" game might be appropriate 
to a degree, but I think that it would be nice if children were allowed in on 
our fun.
