I can't start Commander Keen 4 or later in CGA mode, even though I set everything up correctly in CONF.
I'm using the latest build of Daum (25/1/15)

Some later Keen games had one version for EGA/VGA and a separate version for CGA. I know this was true for 4 and 6, not sure about 5. You will need the CGA-specific versions to get CGA graphics.

This is true for Keen 4, 5, 6 and Keen Dreams.

I have CK 1 through 5 on Steam, but none of them have the CGA version.

Keen 4 CGA can downloaded from RGB Classic Games.
