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!

How about Commander Keen?

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.
