Commander Keen - Episode Two: The Earth Explodes (DOS)
0Commander Keen is a series of side-scrolling platform video games developed primarily by id Software. The series consists of six main episodes, a "lost" episode, and a final game; all but the final game were originally released for MS-DOS in 1990 and 1991. The series follows the eponymous Commander Keen, the secret identity of the eight-year-old genius Billy Blaze, as he defends the Earth and the galaxy from alien threats with his homemade spaceship, rayguns, and pogo stick. The first three episodes were developed by Ideas from the Deep, the precursor to id, and published by Apogee Software as the shareware title Commander Keen in Invasion of the Vorticons.
Commander Keen 2: The Earth Explodes, Keen has assembled his ship on Mars and returned home, only to find the Vorticon Mothership hovering over the Earth, ready to destroy all of its 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 will explode.
In the middle of the night, while his parents think he is asleep, Keen returns to his backyard clubhouse his Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket still cooling down from his recent Martian excursion. He flies to the Vorticon Mothership, sneaks aboard and docks his ship at the weakest area, the Bottom Galley. With incredible luck, Keen finds a nearly empty Vorticon HyperPistol, the weapon of the Vorticon Elite.
