• Grabbing this for a review. Miyagawa (talk) 14:07, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

• Images are all fine.
• There's a couple of duplicate images. Keen Dreams in the first paragraph of Development; the Commander Keen series in the second paragraph of reception, and Wolfenstein 3D in the first paragraph of Legacy
• Lead: Could do with a brief mention of the reception.
• Development: "which was missing in prior Keen games" - best to change this to something like "which was not included in prior Keen games" as otherwise it reads as if music was accidently left out of previous games and then that music was added this time one. I presume that isn't what happened.
• "and schedule Aliens Ate My Babysitter" - comma after schedule
• "the fifth episode, however, was created within one month" - perhaps better as "the fifth episode, which was created within a month of it"
• Reception: Link Super Mario Bros.

• That's everything I can spot. Ping me back when you've had a look; placing this on hold for the week. Miyagawa (talk) 21:20, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

• @Miyagawa: Addressed your concerns. --PresN 14:41, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

• Great, happy to promote to GA on that basis. Miyagawa (talk) 19:44, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Alternate ending

In the secret level in "The Armageddon Machine", there is a fuse that Keen can destroy, rather than take the exit door, to complete the level. What the player gets once they have completed the game is an alternate ending in which the Shikadi getaway ship is destroyed and the antagonistic alien race are left stranded on Korath III. The only source I can find for the claim is at legacy.3drealms.com (I prefer not to cite the game directly). It is regrettably scarce in its analysis on the alternate ending, but it does allude to the Shikadi ship either leaving the system or exploding, depending on the player's actions in the secret level. It seems noteworthy to write, "the Shikadi flee the station and either leave Korath III via their getaway ship or are left stranded, depending on whether Keen destroys a fuse in the secret level ...". Considering that this is already a good article, I am not sure whether I need consensus for the change. Furthermore, it is not the most important piece of information for this article, but I do not think that it counts as WP:GAMECRUFT. FreeMediaKid$ 23:59, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

@FreeMediaKid!: Yeah, I think that's valid to add- done. --PresN 00:05, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

To top it off, I edited the article to add Category:Video games with alternate endings. I am not sure why I didn't get the ping, though. FreeMediaKid$ 03:07, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
