Damn!

I've always had a love for old games.. old adventure games in particular but also platformers and stuff like that. Of course this is partly because of nostalgia but I do believe that they managed to give their games more of that magic that makes a game just a little better than the rest back in those old days.

Anyway, I'm currently playing through the Keen series. I have finished some of these games before (Keen 4-6) and now I wanted to finish them all.
Now.. Keen 1&2 are fine but DAMN how incredibly annoying Keen 3 is! It's just bloody unfair and completely random at times. It makes me wonder if the level designers were sponsored by stress reducing drug companies, it's borderline sadistic at times.
I may not be the best platform gamer out there but I've played my share of them and Keen 3 has to be one of the most annoying ones I've ever played (even more so than Shadow of the Beast 2, another frustrating platformer that I finished with less keyboard bashing than this one).

The weird thing though is - Keen 3 is actually really fun. Despite being frustrating to the point of needing psycological help, it's really addictive and keeps you playing.
I'm still a big fan of the Keen series and this isn't a bad game at all but some of the levels could've used some adjustments.
