March 14th, 2004:  After nearly a year of work, Xky Rauh is proud to present:



== Commander Keen: Episode Null ==

Hello!  Thanks for downloading Episode Null, a modification for Commander Keen, Episode 2: The Earth Explodes!  Keen2 is NOT Shareware.  As you can see, the Keen2.exe file is absent from this zip; you will need to provide your own copy.  Please do not make illegal copies of software.

Be sure you have Version 1.31 of Keen2.exe.  If XkyKeen2.bat does not work for you, there is a chance you have version 1.0.  Please download the appropriate patch at:  http://spatang.com/ck/dl/orig.php

Installation of XkyKeen2 is simple:  Make a duplicate of your Keen2 folder and rename it "XkyKeen2".  Extract the contents of this ZIP file into your "XkyKeen2" directory.  Say "yes" to overwrite the files, which replaces all of the graphics, levels, and text in the game.

To play XkyKeen2, please double-click XkyKeen2.bat, and NOT Keen2.exe.  Thanks again for downloading, and enjoy the game!  





~~ Advice: ~~

I recommend starting with the "Jumping" levels:  Left and Up from where you begin the game.

Please designate the "Final" level (Down and Left from the start) as your last.
