Anybody know who owns the rights to Keen 6? I thought it was zenimax, but apparently they don't own it. Is there anybody to speak with regarding on putting in here on gog?
http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/commander-keen-aliens-ate-my-babysitter names the publisher as FormGen, which was bought by GT Interactive, so... Atari, maybe?
If Atari has the rights... it makes sense why the game has not appeared digitally in any form for sale. A shame since it is a very good game and the only way to play it proper these days is to go the controversial abandonware route. Unless you want to fork over half a grand to get a copy on eBay that is. :P
Keane is better anyway.

Is there somebody that could be emailed regarding the rights ownership? Somebody at Atari maybe?

I think the people on this forum with experience of making enquiries like that are generally found on tfishell's research threads:
