Talk:Commander Keen

Perhaps this is a stretch, but I remember some controversy regarding a major writer - possibly Salman Rushdie, Martin Amis, in a similar league - writing an expose of Doom's violence, and citing the Commander Keens in a disingenuous way, by emphasising that the game involved shooting "hanging children", or something along those lines. I can't remember any more details so I leave this here to see if it jogs anybody's memory. -Ashley Pomeroy 16:02, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

In fact, there's a cite here. It refers to a tantalisingly un-named study of violence carried out in Denmark. "Doom II has been described as particularly deprived. The game contains a scene in which the player can shoot the hanged figure of the game character Commander Keen. Some, however, claimed that this was a case of virtual baby slaying." -Ashley Pomeroy 22:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
