Commander Keen pushes graphics to the limit. It's truly a "commercial
quality" game that Nintendo and arcade fans will appreciate. It
features ultra high-speed smooth-scrolling EGA graphics and superb sound
effects. The animation and scrolling is updated at 60 frames per second
(motion picture quality cartoons are filmed at only 24 frames per
second).
The story of Commander Keen is epic in the style of the memorable
matinee serials like Flash Gordan. You play the role of Billy Blaze, an
eight year-old child genius who builds an interstellar ship when not
working at home on his college fast-track degree. Among other household
objects, Billy uses his Nintendo joystick for flight control and his
mom's vacuum cleaner (heavily modified) for his ship's ion propulsion
system (with pile height adjustment).
At the hint of galactic trouble, Billy dons his brother's football
helmet and becomes "Commander Keen" -- defender of Earth! Ever on the
side of justice, fairness, and high calorie junk food, Keen dispenses
justice with an iron hand.
"Marooned on Mars" is volume one of the Commander Keen trilogy. (Only
part one is available via shareware distribution, the other two volumes
may only be purchased from Apogee Software Productions.) Each volume
has its own unique appearance, with different goals, graphics, game
characters, animation and locations.
Volumes of Commander Keen are $15, or you can order (and register) all
three volumes for just $30. As an incentive to order all three volumes,
you'll also receive a hint sheet, a cheat mode password, and new bonus
games from ASP. Plus, you'll be able to call the Commander Keen hints
line or mail questions to ASP for assistance.
