I too loved Commander Keen in it's day. So thanks, ZekeSulastin for the great tip! I downloaded the release 2 beta of pDOSBox from the developer's site and well....click on the thumbnail.

Below the Keen opening screen on my X30 mid you'll notice faintly the scrolling soft keyboard for command entry and game control. The Ax's D-pad defaulted to directional control. But let me tell you, running the game with a soft keyboard is no small feat. But it was fun trying. I have by now forgotten most game commands. The game ran well but there was a slight delay to the sound. Here's the link to the site.

Scroll down to the bottom to find the link for the beta version. This was a no hassle install to my SD card. :approve:
