Synopsis

Maybe it was the story that appealed to us.

Here's a kid, like we were back then, who has an IQ in the upper ranges and a cool secret identity. Barry Blaze, ordinary schoolboy, by day, Commander Keen, intergalactic superhero, by night.

In this first story, Billy finds himself stranded on Mars when the evil Vorticons steal the parts of his spaceship. He must travel the entire planet looking for these parts so he can return and stop the Vorticons from blowing up Earth.

An exciting story, isn't it? Well... okay, maybe it wasn't brilliant, but admittedly at the time, few games included real action stories. Here you were on a plot-related mission and weren't just wandering from level to level like a nerd at a hip party.

The story of Keen 1, while not mind-blowing, is perfectly acceptable and adds a little extra to the overall game.
