My grandmother actually introduced my brother and I to Commander Keen! She was a teacher at the time and had a pretty good grasp on computers when many had never even interacted with one in person. Whenever we went to their house, we always wanted to play on her computer. It made our Nintendo seem like a toy in comparison. She even had some other games too including Quasimodo and another one i could swear was called Arabian or Arabian Nights…

Shareware really was so cool back then 😎 happy memories!
