All you need to play this game is an 8088 with 640k of RAM (300 or so free), and either have 600k of hard drive space, or
have the game on a diskette. I'm running the game on a Pentium 3- 850MHz with 512M of RAM inside a Virtual PC
running MSDOS 6.22. Kinda like overkill, eh? :)
Video Modes:
CGA graphics or higher is required, but it looks MUCH better with EGA or better.
Input Devices:
A Keyboard is required (duh... otherwise you couldn't run the game :P), but it can use a Joystick/Gamepad and Mouse...
My suggestion is a Gravis Gamepad, since Commander Keen 4 has innate support for it. The only reason to have a
mouse is for Paddle War :)
Sound Hardware:
You really don't need anything, but Commander Keen 4 CAN use a PC Speaker (ick) or pump out tunes on a
SoundBlaster/Adlib soundcard, which just plain rocks.
Memory Needed:
Heck, I think this might actually run on 200k free of conventional :) Just make sure you have around 300k free first.
