In part 3 of Exploring the Id, we review the Commander Keen PC games; the first trilogy "Invasion of the Vorticons" make up Commander Keen 1, 2 & 3, and "Keen Dreams" is considered to be "The Lost Episode". This part discusses the team's first sidescrollers made with Apogee, made with the unauthorized use of Softdisk's computers. 8-year-old boy genius Billy Blaze dons his brother's football helmet and becomes Commander Keen: Defender of the Earth!

You can download the Commander Keen games from Steam along with many of the other classic id Software PC games.

A special "Era Game Reviews" series of videos that focus on reviewing PC games made by the people behind id Software; Commander Keen games, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, and its mods and community. Information in this series of videos is sourced from "Masters of Doom", game design books, .plan files, old webpages on the Internet Archive, as well as my own personal experience being involved in the community for these games of the '90s. Learn about id Software history and its historic entry into the video game industry in the '90s by "Exploring the Id" in this documentary/retro-review.
