Picked up Commander Keen in Keen Dreams, which I have vivid memories of playing with my German cousins during a rare occasion when I got to visit them. There's something I especially like about the grenades that turn your adversaries into dopey-looking flowers when you stun them.

The gameplay was similar to that of Descent , but much of it took place on the surface of various planets, and there was nothing stopping you from just flying around for a while before getting down to …

Well if you ask what CPU made the BIGGEST impact on the computer market it would have had to have been the first gen. Pentium. Cyrix 6x86's a much bigger wrecking ball than that. 6x86 destroying the 5th gen luxury gatekeep in the mid-late 90s (despite how flaky and sucks-at-quakey they may be) is …
