Get a copy of Commander Keen 1 and extract the keen1 folder.

3. Start the game

1. Start by opening a terminal and execute dosbox and a new window will popup.
2. Start by setting your keyboard layout with keyboardlayout id-here or keyb id-here.
   • In my case keyb sv for swedish layout.
3. Let's start by mounting the parent folder of the game, in my case MOUNT C ~/Games.
4. Execute C:\ in the terminal and then dir to see all directorys and make sure we see keen1 directory.
5. Enter keen1 with cd keen1 and then execute keen1.exe to spin up the game. It should say Loading Commander Keen part 1....
