Bean With Bacon Megarocket

I was researching some old school arcade game graphics today for camp materials and came across one of my most favorite old games. Commander Keen! This game was incredibly awesome. Basically you play "Billy Blaze" (eight year old genius) who builds his own starship (the Bean With Bacon Megarocket! who writes this stuff??) which he uses to take him to his crazy adventures in other worlds.



You get points by collecting soda bottles, assorted candies, tear drops, bowls of cereal, etc. and by killing the vast assortment of eccentric villains. Such simple entertainment, but the campy manner in which it is treated is just beyond cool. I wish I could get these games on my Mac. I think I can, it just requires a series of tedious steps and reading instructions, heh.

I was also excited to see this series of "urban art." I love pixels.
