This game was the first game to be indepth and have a real plot. I actually registered it.

You are Billy Blaze, a 7 year old genious, who has taken ordinary house hold
items and created a space ship. With his brothers football helmet, he becomes Commander Keen
(don't call him captain Keen)He then flies off into space with it and lands on
Mars. There the aliens take apart his space ship and bring it to various place on
the planet. First your must find a pogo stick to help you get through the levels.
Then you collect each item (car battery, vacuum cleaner, joystick, everclear fuel), and
when you are done, you fly home.

But, the Vorticon Mother Ship have docked near Earth and is going to destroy it.
Keen also accidentally brings home an alien and his mother isn't too happy.

Why are the vorticons after you? What is the anhk power? What is all that weird writing?
It is all answered in this episode. There is only one level you have to beat, plus the ones
that you need to beat to get there. If you take a ride on Nessie you'll go to a school room
with the Intergalactic alphabet. Vorticon women are around now and they worse than the original
Vorticons. They spit fire and can even kill the Vorticons.

At the end you find out that Keen's old classmate, Mortimer, is controling the minds of the
Vorticons. You must destroy his evil machine an free the Vorticons.
