I, Sega381 04:11, 8 October 2006 (UTC), feel that this image is appropriate to be used in this article under fair use because:
- id Software has not released any such images to the public domain
- It is a low resolution screenshot of the game
- It does not limit the game's copyright owner (id Software) to sell the game in any way
- The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game
- The image is used to illustrate important characteristics of the game mentioned in the article, which conveys to the reader an idea of what they look like
- The image's only purpose is to aid in the description of the fictional world of Commander Keen, and for no other purpose
