Story : 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Billy Blaze is an eight-year-old boy genius who has constructed a spaceship in his 
backyard from old soup cans and other household objects, called The Bean-with-Bacon 
Megarocket. When his parents are out and the babysitter falls asleep, he dons his 
brother's Packers helmet and becomes Commander Keen, Defender of Earth.

In the first game, Keen is exploring on Mars when aliens steal four spaceship components
that he must get back. The aliens are the Vorticon, a fierce dog-humanoid race that had
an outpost on Mars. Keen travels through different martian cities, and eventually recovers
all the missing parts. 

But when Keen gets back to Earth, he finds the Vorticon mothership looming over the planet, 
with its cannons ready to attack. In the second game, Keen infiltrates the mothership 
and has to disable each of the Tantalus Rays targeting different Earth cities. 

During this adventure, Keen learns that the Vorticons used to be a peaceful race, 
but were enslaved by the mysterious Grand Intellect.

After disabling the cannons, Keen travels to the Vorticon homeplanet, Vorticon VI. 
In the third game, Keen has to face the Vorticon masses in their cities, all ready to 
kill Keen. After fighting through many levels of Vorticon-infested cities and military
installations, Keen arrives at the lair of the Grand Intellect. There he discovers that
the leader of the Vorticons is actually his school rival Mortimer McMire.
