+ COMMANDER KEEN
+ in
+ "Invasion of the Vorticons"
+
+
+Billy Blaze, eight year-old genius, working diligently in his backyard
+clubhouse has created an interstellar starship from old soup cans, rubber
+cement and plastic tubing. While his folks are out on the town and the
+babysitter has fallen asleep, Billy travels into his backyard workshop, dons
+his brother's football helmet, and transforms into...
+
+ COMMANDER KEEN--defender of Earth!
+
+In his ship, the Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket, Keen dispenses galactic justice
+with an iron hand!
+
+
+ Episode One: Marooned on Mars
+
+
+In this episode, aliens from the planet Vorticon VI find out about the eight
+year-old genius and plan his destruction. While Keen is out exploring the
+mountains of Mars, the Vorticons steal vital parts of his ship and take
+them to distant Martian cities! Can Keen recover all the pieces of his
+ship and repel the Vorticon invasion? Will he make it back before his
+parents get home? Stay tuned!
+
+ WHAT THE VORTICONS HAVE STOLEN
+
+The Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket was constructed from objects around the house
+that you have "modified" into starship parts:
+
+ JOYSTICK (from your brother's video game) Manual flight control.
+
+ CAR BATTERY (from your Mom's car) Electrical systems power.
+
+ VACUUM CLEANER (from the kitchen, heavily modified) Ion propulsion
+unit (with carpet height adjustment).
+
+ EVERCLEAR (from your Dad's liquor cabinet) Fuel.
+
+
+
+The Vorticons have taken these pieces to the far reaches of Mars and are
+guarding them. You must find the members of this Vorticon outpost and wrest
+the parts back from their wicked, clawed hands!
+
+ INFORMATION ON MARS
+
+Unbeknownst to NASA, when the Viking Lander settled to the surface of
+Mars, it caused a major political upheaval. Viking actually landed on the
+despotic Martian king! The Yorps (the extremely friendly one-eyed
+Martians) were free from enslavement, and the Gargs (the vicious, aggressive
+Martians) were angry.
+
+The Martians created robots for menial work and guard duties. Beware of the
+tank-like Guard Robots--they are VERY good at what they do.
+
+Martians have been visiting Earth in UFOs for decades. Why? They come to
+Earth for one reason--THEY WANT OUR TOYS. Hula hoops and skateboards are
+holy objects to them! Who knows...you may find some toys useful!
+
+There are signs everywhere. You haven't been able to decipher them yet....
+
+ THE ADVENTURE BEGINS...
+
+Your task is before you. Go get 'em, Commander Keen!

+trilogy!
+
+
+ Episode Two: The Earth Explodes
+
+Keen has assembled his ship and returned home, only to find the Vorticon
+Mothership hovering over the Earth, ready to destroy all of Earth's cities
+and wonders! Keen must sneak aboard, stop the imminent destruction of Earth
+and find a way to neutralize the Mothership! If he fails...THE EARTH
+EXPLODES! (No pressure.)
+
+ Episode Three: Keen Must Die!
+
+Keen flies to the planet Vorticon VI to once and for all rid the galaxy of
+the Vorticon menace. The entire planet is waiting for his arrival, with
+only one order given--Commander Keen must die! What evil being is behind
+all this? Stay tuned for the climactic, shocking finale!
