ps: I disagree about iD starting off on casual games. Keen is in no way "casual", man. There's a ton of hardcore stuff in these games... and Keen was the first real platformer to ever exist on the PC. Besides, it was before 3D games existed, so "hardcore" was different back then anyhow. :p

 

I love how terms like "hardcore" and "casual" are moving goalposts that can be used to define the personal tastes of every individual. Can't we all agree never to use such meaningless buzz words?

Just got around to downloading.

Some of the backgrounds hurt my eyes when they scroll. I'm surprised how low-res it is, and how few frames of animation there are... Even though I was sort of expecting to be surprised by the graphics.
