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

characters, animation and locations.
