Commander Keen 4 gameplay screenshot DOSGames.com Review: Rating: 4.5Commander Keen Secret of the Oracle is the well-received fourth episode in the Commander Keen series. (The series this game is part of is called 'Goodbye Galaxy!' ) Like the original game, it was developed by iD Software and published by Apogee. In this game, Billy 'Commander Keen' Blaze is again called into action and must adventure into an overhead map and then into platforming stages. The main complaint against this game (as with the original) would probably the one-hit-death mechanics, which can make each level feel more stressful as you near the exit!
However this game improves on the graphics, music, and sound effects of the earlier games while including many of the same elements that made the original successful (such as the pogo stick) and provides a fun experience. (It even includes an epic game of Pong, aka 'Paddle War', on the main menu.).
For those of you who are too young to remember the early 1990s: gaming was simpler then and platform games were among the industries largest cash cows this side of the planet. If you owned a PC, you would have undoubtedly played games such as Jazz Jackrabbit or even Episode I: Marooned on Mars, a game which would go on to spawn 6 sequels. Of course, gaming has evolved since then, with 2-d platformers going the way of the Dodo. Yet Billy Blaze or, as he prefers to call himself, seems to have found one last hurrah, giving gamers a new chance to familiarize themselves with an old friend.Features. Three levels of difficulty.

Only for Game Boy ColorThe Game Boy Color version of Commander Keen plays remarkably like its PC counterpart, which should come as no surprise. As 8-year-old Billy Blaze, you take to the skies in an effort to thwart the evil Vorticon menace, which threatens the very existence Earth. In true 2-d platforming pleasure, you'll hop around on a pogo stick while firing at the alien scourge with your trusty blaster at your side. It's nothing new to platform games (well, the pogo stick is a bit strange), but it makes for good gameplay. Billy will also have to collect numerous key cards and find different portals in order to make his way through the dank, dark, alien landscapes, but hey.he is Commander Keen and this is something he can handle.Ok, well, perhaps he can handle it, but there are certain aspects of the controls that will make Billy Blaze's adventure a bit more unbearable.
The problem lies in the pinpoint accuracy necessary to complete jumps correctly. More often than not, Billy will meet his untimely end simply because he couldn't make that one jump, that single leap which will cause him to fall into a crevice or spikey pit, killing him instantly. Timing in the game is crucial.
