Pros
Pro Commander Keen was the first side-scrolling action game on the PC
Commander Keen was the first side-scrolling action game on the PC. It was developed by id Software.
The history of its development is very interesting as it needed the development of a whole new technology which was not existant at that time for the PC and big PC gaming companies did not exist. John Carmack has developed the technique to make it possible.
