Unlike the game Bio Menace which uses this game engine, this game does plays well on the Nokia tablet if you leave the score box left on. However if you think the game is playing slow, you can turn this feature on or off in the Configure/Options menu.

Warning!!: There is a Boss key feature in Commander Keen: Aliens Ate My Babysitter! If you hit the F9 key, it shows a DOS prompt. The F9 key is also the key I’ve remapped in the mappercsa.txt file for turning fullscreen on and off. So just be aware that if you use this key to flip fullscreen on or off, then the DOS prompt will appear. Hitting the Esc key will take you out of the DOS screen to the game.

Other Comments:
There is a simple game called Paddle War which is on the Main Menu. Play it for some extra retro fun action.

Positives: Just like Goodbye Galaxy…great gameplay, graphics, music, and overall fun. This game oozes gooey goodness!
Negative: Only one episode!

DosBox Issues: None!
Overall game rating: 6 stars out of 5!
