Yeah, it would be a good candidate for a 3d platformer run and gun except that the theme of the character is probably considered to not be cool or interesting enough to reboot.

Commander Keen was, in my opinion, the videogame version of Calvin and Hobbes' "Spaceman Spiff", and that character probably doesn't resonate with the under 30s which comprise the majority of the video game buying demographic.

I still hope someone at ID pushes the idea anyway, who knows, if it's a good enough game people will play it regardless of the character attraction.



> Calvin and Hobbes' "Spaceman Spiff" I hadn't put it together, but you're right!
