[REQUEST] Keen Alternatives

Post by BlueFireZ88 »

I'm looking for a decent alternative the hanged Commander Keen sprite in Doom 2.

Can anyone create or, at least, show me where I can find a good alternative?

Teeeechnically speaking, wouldn't anything with a hurt/death frame act as a decent alternative for Keen?

TVR! has the chained-up Zombiemen, which I thought was a neat idea.

The character was Johnny Dash, it's the game that was Monster Bash.

I support the Duke Nukem idea... IIRC Blood had a chained up Duke sprite, too, but I think 3DR forced them to take it out of the later versions or something?

Damnit, I wasn't sure when posting it but at least someone still knows about that great game :)

Nope, never. 3DR really loved the whole poking fun at each other thing, hence why they did it so much. Also, it's of note that 3DR worked on Blood themselves for a brief time before they sold it to Monolith. So the Duke reference fits even more.
