A series of video games developed at the turn of the 90s, one of the first to be successful at replicating the side scrolling action of the [[Platformer/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' games in MS-DOS (more on that down below). The cartoon style platformers are notable for their pioneering use of EGA graphics and shareware distribution, and because they were some of the first games by Creator/IdSoftware (who went on to develop blockbusters like ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Quake|I}}''). Although developed by id, most of the Commander Keen games were published by Apogee Software, an already-established MS-DOS shareware game publisher.
