Hi Tom Hall,

I still enjoy playing those Commander Keen games from time to time. I read about your intentions of doing more Keen games if you could ever get the intellectual rights to it back in 2000. It is so sad that nearly a decade has passed and no luck. Whether or not you are ever able to finally continue the Keen saga to the end, your original Keen games will forever be remembered possibly for generations to come. Thank you.

SIG: maybe….

Maria: aw thanks…! Todd, James, Josef, and the team all did wonders on that game.

We don’t do remote positions, but thanks for your interest!

Dear Toml,
I am a big fan of your online game. I started to play Wizard 101 to spend some time with my nephew, who does not live close to me. But I soon became addicted to the game. I would love to be part of your team. if there is anyway of me working from New York City, for your company, please let me know.
I did have an idea of adding helper wizards to the game. It would be an honor if you considered my idea. And it would be a bigger honor, if you considered me for a position. I can work form home and be available at any time. Thank you, Maria

Hi Tom,

You should consider doing an AMA (Ask me anything) on Reddit!

Heh, it was a great game.

The guys are Apogee are “rebooting” the ROTT franchise… we’ll see what that means I guess!

Deus Ex was such a great game. It meant so much to me that I actually have the DX logo tattooed on my arm! How about that part where Simons approaches JC Denton in the final area (if you didn’t fight him initially) and compares his presence to a “Hall” of mirrors? J.C.’s response is priceless.

When can I expect Rise of the Triad 2, where the H.U.N.T. discovers that El Oscuro has not only risen from the dead, but has enlisted the help of a zombified Dopefish and the ghost of Hans Grosse???

Byron, I personally don’t consider that Keen “canon” by any means. I tried to play it, wasn’t fun.

Clive, heh, garsh thanks…. it was fun voicing him.

WALTON SIMONS!! Ha! Dude you will go down as a legend.. in the calmest of calm sunny afternoons, when all is silent and life is drab, you can rest assured in that beautiful moment that millions if not hundreds of thousands of innocent strivers were touched, non-remiss, and stricken with fear the day they all ever met the immortal, walton. Dude, I salute you, and get on DX3 those suckers don’t have a clue

deus ex forever
peace x

Hello again. Back in February, you mentioned that you would try to get some old disks archived and if you did, you would try to get a disk image of Penultima. Have you had any luck?

Thanks again,
Matt

I would really love to see the official Universe is toast! I’ve been playing the mod version for a while now. Another question, what are your thoughts on the gameboy version of Commander Keen?
