Game
Commander Keen 4 was a major upgrade from the first Commander Keen trilogy. It had better graphics, improved sound, and many technical enhancements. You still play the part of Billy Blaze the supra-genius 8 year-old who has a habit of saving the world. Your faster-than-light radio has intercepted some plans by the Shikadis to destroy the galaxy, so you hop in your Bacon-with-Beans Megarocket and head towards the planet Gnosticus IV where the Oracle will be able to answer some questions about the invasion. Unfortunately, when you arrive the Elders have been kidnapped and taken to the Shadowlands.
The game is a very smooth platformer with responsive controls and a crisp look. It could have easily been seen on a console system, but it instead gave merit to the action PC games of the time. You can jump, pogo, shoot, climb, and swim your way through several levels in your attempts to save the Gnosticus Elders.
Music
Commander Keen 4's music fits perfectly with the game. It's light-hearted and upbeat, just like the game itself. It is also the first game to use the IMF format.
Ripping
The music was ripped from the compressed Audio.CK4 file, played with AdPlug 1.7, and recorded with Winamp.
