I remember this, but apparently I was young enough to not make the connection!

I expect nothing less.

Assuming it wasn't literally the last thing added to the game, the TTP was less than zero.

Also, the color palettes available to CGA and EGA games were... something.

This show looks funny. I should give it a watch.

It's uneven but never worse than "okay" IMHO. It gets clowned on occasionally because its three best episodes are a Covid zoom episode and two standalone stories that depart from the main cast and plot almost entirely, but overall it's still a fun riff on some of the same themes as Silicon Valley, if a bit slight.

I spent a lot of time as Commander Keen. I have no recollection of it at all though.

Commander Keen 3, this was one of the areas you had to go through to get the secret level with schoolhouse and galactic basic to English translations.

For some reason this reminds me of the twilight tileset in starcraft 1 with those shallow lower areas

I remember this map. I loved the Keen games as a kid.
