Apogee is back
This company was one of my favorites from the shareware era of the early to mid 1990s alongside Epic Megagames and id Software...they have a new FPS game out that looks pretty fun called "Turbo Overkill And they have made HD remasters of "Crystal Caves", "Monster Bash" & "Secret Agent", what makes them interesting to me tho compared to the regular old re-releases where they just stick the regular version in DOSBox, is that these include a level editor, and anybody can share and play each other's creations online, mario-maker style. I hope they do an HD remake of Halloween Harry / Alien Carnage I'd have hoped for a Duke Nukem II one, but sadly that's not going to happen because of the license. I'll be keeping an eye on their future releases! |

Commander Keen would be great!
I am actually kind of surprised they decided to do crystal caves/monster bash/secret agent first, since commander keen is by far the most popular of their IPs. --- scratch that i just looked it up. Commander Keen is owned by id software now ;_; publishing rights and all....that kinda sucks in the sense we won't be getting the level editor / online level sharing since id software doesn't do these HD remakes, just vanilla DOSBox releases. |

And don't forget, he's the grandson of B.J. Blazkowitz.
