GOG, now that Keens 1 - 5 are here, please get Commander Keen 6: Aliens Ate My Baby Sitter, too!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Atari owns that one now, right?

Someone might need to remind Atari that they hold the IP.
+1'd the wishlist. I didn't know it was an actual game when I saw the title. I thought OP was making fun of Zombies Ate My Neighbours.

Hmm... Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons, the retail version of the original Commander Keen trilogy: Marooned on Mars, The Earth Explodes and Keen Must Die!

And I thought only 2 games were missing plus 1 completely unrelated from Activision for Game Boy Color.
Thank goodness we have Commander Keen in Goodbye Galaxy! at least, or do we???

Might be, only Mark Rein knows what kind of a *deal* he made with FormGen, which was bought by GT Interactive (was Keen 6 included?) which in turn was bought by Infogrames/Atari (again, was Keen 6 included?). What a great guy!

Wait....so doesn't that make it illegal to download on MyAbandonware?
Pretty strange that it's still up - usually old games that resumed sales on Steam/GOG were removed from MyAbandonware within a really small amount of time.
For example - when I saw Metal Gear on GOG, I checked MyAbandonware if they removed it, and they did - on the release date.
That also means that Invasion of the Vorticons isn't necessarily a different game in the series, right? Just a compilation.

Yes, just a compilation. Any game you download from that or any similar sites would be illegal to do (ask any lawyer). If you like MyAbandonware that much try and contact them to remove it. And to be honest Commander Keen 1-5 games were available on Steam since 2007 (if not earlier). So that makes absolutely no sense for me in case with that website you mentioned.

"Keen Dreams is a property of Keen Company (Javier M. Chavez). All rights to Keen Dreams and its original assets remain with Keen Company. Licensed by Keen Company."

If mister Chavez will apply to GOG about that game and GOG will NOT ignore his proposition we might very well see it coming here. The chances are slim since it probably has not been done from December 2017.

I've given a review on the game's page telling them to remove it. Considering the fact that all reviews are held for moderation before being released, I think there's a chance they might remove it.
Why are you saying Invasion of the Vorticons isn't avaiable when it is?
didn't know then, sorry.
they remaster all games except these awesome ones :(
