i thought they were great games as a kid and i had no idea about the technical.
but just to let you know commander keen was a technical marvel when it came out. my information is very sketchy but to my knowledge it was the first side scroller on the pc that actually scrolled well and playable, at a good pace.
carmack was trying to emulate what super mario 3 worked like.
i cant remember any more technicals but hopefully this was interesting
