Let's Play Commander Keen 4: Secret of the Oracle 06: Crystalus aka "The Ice Palace"
So like, there's this bird flying around, and also a couple of those weird flying frog things, and on top of that, I have to find every known color of keygem to rescuse the oracle dude. Gugh.
"Keen 4: Secret of the Oracle is the first episode in the Goodbye, Galaxy! series. Keen must explore the Shadowlands to find and rescue members of the High Council of Gnosticus IV who have been kidnapped by the Shikadi." from http://www.shikadi.net/keenwiki/Keen_4:_Secret_of_the_Oracle ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3W1D9VmSY
In the course of checking my extractors I encounter and repair another droid. That's two spear shooting, milling-about-like-pillbugs machines orbiting me. How very exciting.
With FarSky, you take the role of Nathan who got lost in the Ocean after the crash of his submarine. You need to learn how to survive in the depths of the Ocean.
Use the environment to gather resources, build a base to refill your oxygen and manage all your items, craft equipment and weapons to explore and protect yourself in the Ocean depths, create an in-base farm or go fish hunting to feed yourself,...
Your ultimate goal is to find all the pieces of your submarine, fix it and reach the surface. You can also choose to play in Sandbox mode to enjoy the game freely with a wider map!
All maps are randomly generated to immerse you in an unknown world.

Seriously is there some puzzle with the bridge I accidentally broke? Or maybe the devs were trying to make it look pretty but accidentally carved a path I could use to skip certain triggers? I dunno.

Rage Crackrock re-explores the fraction of the eleventh level lost in restoring the last savegame. The needed pearl is discovered on the corpse of one of those Swamp Thing things, inside the room that seemed inaccessible. This level is finished.

By adjusting rents and expanding the office block, the population of the tower rises sufficiently to merit the coveted "Four-star" rating. This construction project should be finished soon.

So yeah, this is what the good ending looks like. Neato. Bee-Arby with the "bad" ending. I suppose that will be the actual final finale of this game. But this video contains my concluding thoughts, if there are such things.
"Keen 5: The Armageddon Machine is the second episode in the Goodbye, Galaxy! series. In this episode, Keen confronts the Shikadi and attempts to destroy the Omegamatic, a device the Shikadi are building to destroy the galaxy. "

I renamed the save file because I thought I was one ahead in recordings, you know, to avoid confusion; but I just confused myself because that was not, in fact, necessary.

Serious speedrun potential in Lori's kick, imo. Merry Christmas.
"Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Christmas Chronicles was an add-on for Jazz Jackrabbit 2, version number 1.24x. It was essentially a rerelease of Holiday Hare ’98 using the engine of The Secret Files. It had the levels, music, and tileset of HH ’98, but also had Lori as a playable character, and JCS.
The Christmas Chronicles was originally intended to be released in a “Christmas card”-format by Project2 Interactive, for all those who had registered their copy of The Secret Files. This was soon scrapped in favor of a regular release, which those who had registered were able to preorder.
Preorders however were cancelled and it was feared that The Christmas Chronicles would not see a release after all. Not until the Polish publisher LK Avalon released a localized version of The Christmas Chronicles in Poland. A limited European release, seemingly by Project2 Interactive though most likely by the follow-up company NCI Dotcom, followed shortly thereafter. Nowadays it’s hard to find any copies of the game."
