Thanks for sharing this - I loved those games.
I kind of miss the days when Commander Keen was one of like five video games I would name if prompted to list video games I've played.
Wait, he died ?!
Wolfenstein was a fave he did.
Legend
This and Angelo Badalamenti explaining how he wrote Laura Palmer's theme are two of my favourite musician explains their process clips ever
Well sh.t 😭 RIP
the commander keen music was so good, I've legitimately had this tune in my head for about 35 years now
Yeah, he’s talking about Keen Dreams! Makes a whole lot of sense considering the vegetables theme of that game Then the song got cut and they used it for the Well of Wishes instead Man I loved his Commander Keen music, so full of personality
Man that song was funny
Oh so THAT'S where it was from! I remember seeing this clip but for some reason I filed it away in my memory as The Fat Man.
Thanks for sharing!!! 🙏🙏🙏
That's amazing! I'm so sorry that he passed away...

This is amazing. Commander Keen was absolutely one of my earliest game obsessions 🩷
Damn that's cool.
Oh wow that was amazing ! Thank you
fuuucckk really???? im happy he lead a full life but man that sucks
His music was such a memorable part of my childhood and young adult life - this sucks Hearing him talk about his process like this is fun, because my wife is a composer and this is exactly how she sounds, enthusiasm and all, talking about her work
