THE STORY

January 1,  2000- A hail of meteors slam into the Earth. Hundreds are dead.

January 11, 2000- Kid Genius Billy Blaze (AKA Commander Keen) recieves an anonymous tip on his intergalactic cellular phone that Mortimer McMire, other kid genius, is responsible for the meteor shower. He's told that McMire plans to launch a thousand more meteors into the earth from his secret base on planet Ceti Alpha 6.
"This is a monstrous injustice!" thinks Billy, as he dons his brother's NEW football helmet and becomes...Commander Keen! Defender of the Galaxy!
Keen immediately leaves for Ceti Alpha 6.
