The project started as a continuation of CloneKeen. The Commander Genius Team currently consists of the following people:
- Developer and project manager: Gerstrong
- Testing: Tulip, Hagel, Mancus Nemo

- Resource administrator and main tester: Tulip
- Port to Dingux, Nanonote: Zear

Since version 1.4 the Galaxy trilogy is supported including some mods like keen 7-9 unofficial. They will also eventually add all modification tools possible, making this the ultimate way to create mods of the original games as well. Also with the Dosbox fusion engine, which is Dosbox on steroids it will be possible to play any game on CG.
The DOSBox Fusion Engine Code has been removed due to requests of the main developers of the original project.
Since version 3.0 Cosmos the Cosmic Adventures (Episode 1-3) are fully supported as well.
