+You can move Commander Keen with the joystick or keyboard.
+
+
+When you first start Keen, you will be in keyboard mode. Let's look at the
+keys you need to know to play the game.
+
+KEY           WHAT IT DOES
+
+Arrows        Move Keen around
+
+Ctrl          Jump
+
+Alt           Use Pogo/Stop Pogo
+              (if you have one)
+
+Ctrl AND Alt  Fire raygun
+              (if it has charges)
+
+You can redefine these keys by pressing F3.
+
+
+OTHER IMPORTANT KEYS
+
+Spacebar      Status screen
+
+F1            Help!
+
+F2            Sound on/off
+
+F3            Keyboard mode
+
+F4            Joystick mode
+
+F5            Save Game
+
+ESC           Quit
+
+
+If you use the joystick, press button 1 to jump, button 2 to use the
+pogo, and both to fire the raygun.  Controlling Keen while using the pogo is
+more difficult.
+
+When you are on the Mars map, you may be blocked by a city, shrine, or other
+obstacle.  You must enter the city (press Ctrl or button 1) and finish it
+before proceeding.
+
+When you enter a city, you can get things by simply running into them.
+
+If you cannot pass through a door, there may be a "keycard" that the door
+requires.  This keycard will be the same color as the door.

+
+
+You have seen a short glimpse of the excitement that awaits in the rest of
+the Commander Keen trilogy!
+
+The second episode is "The Earth Explodes," which contains new features like
+see-through windows, new aliens such as the Vorticon Elite, and truly
+earth-shattering animation! Use moving platforms, evade new robots, and make 
+your way to the Tantalus Ray chambers! Save the Earth before it's too late!
+
+The third episode in Invasion of the Vorticons is "Keen Must Die!" In this
+episode there is danger lurking everywhere as you visit Vorticon VI, where
+you explore the richly-detailed Vorticon society. See beautiful parks,
+dangerous cities, and confusing caves! And all this on the way to your final
+confrontation with the Grand Intellect! Episode three features a big 
+cast including Vorticon women, Meeps, Foobs, and VortiNinjas! And you 
+won't believe the new, mysterious "Ankh" power! 
+
+
+~     COMING SOON FROM ID SOFTWARE
+
+As our follow-up to the Commander Keen trilogy, Id Software is working on
+"The Fight for Justice": a completely new approach to fantasy gaming.  You
+start not as a weakling with no food--you start as Quake, the strongest,
+most dangerous person on the continent. You start off with a Hammer of 
+Thunderbolts, a Ring of Regeneration, and a trans-dimensional artifact. Here 
+the fun begins.  You fight for Justice, a secret organization devoted to 
+vanquishing evil from the land! This is role-playing excitement.
+
+And you don't chunk around the screen. "The Fight for Justice" contains fully
+animated scrolling backgrounds. All the people you meet have their own
+lives, personalities, and objectives. A 256-color VGA version
+will be available (smooth scrolling 256-color screens--fancy that)!
+
+And the depth of play will be intense. No more "whack whack here's some
+gold." There will be interesting puzzles and decisions won't be "yes/no" but
+complex correlations of people and events.
+
+"The Fight for Justice" will be the finest PC game yet.

+~            COMMANDER KEEN
+~                 in
+~     "Invasion of the Vorticons"
+
+
+Billy Blaze, eight year-old genius, working diligently in his backyard
+clubhouse has created an interstellar starship from old soup cans, rubber
+cement and plastic tubing.  While his folks are out on the town and the
+babysitter has fallen asleep, Billy travels into his backyard workshop, dons
+his brother's football helmet, and transforms into...
+
+  COMMANDER KEEN--defender of Earth!
+
+In his ship, the Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket, Keen dispenses galactic justice
+with an iron hand!
+
+
+~   Episode One: Marooned on Mars
+
+
+In this episode, aliens from the planet Vorticon VI find out about the eight
+year-old genius and plan his destruction.  While Keen is out exploring the
+mountains of Mars, the Vorticons steal vital parts of his ship and take
+them to distant Martian cities!  Can Keen recover all the pieces of his
+ship and repel the Vorticon invasion?  Will he make it back before his
+parents get home?  Stay tuned!
+
+~   WHAT THE VORTICONS HAVE STOLEN
+
+The Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket was constructed from objects around the house
+that you have "modified" into starship parts:
+
+	 JOYSTICK (from your brother's video game) Manual flight control.
+
+	 CAR BATTERY (from your Mom's car) Electrical systems power.
+
+	 VACUUM CLEANER (from the kitchen, heavily modified) Ion propulsion
+unit (with carpet height adjustment).
+
+	 EVERCLEAR (from your Dad's liquor cabinet) Fuel.
+
+
+
+The Vorticons have taken these pieces to the far reaches of Mars and are
+guarding them.  You must find the members of this Vorticon outpost and wrest
+the parts back from their wicked, clawed hands!
+
+~         INFORMATION ON MARS
+
+Unbeknownst to NASA, when the Viking Lander settled to the surface of
+Mars, it caused a major political upheaval.  Viking actually landed on the
+despotic Martian king!  The Yorps (the extremely friendly one-eyed
+Martians) were free from enslavement, and the Gargs (the vicious, aggressive
+Martians) were angry.
+
+The Martians created robots for menial work and guard duties.  Beware of the
+tank-like Guard Robots--they are VERY good at what they do.
+
+Martians have been visiting Earth in UFOs for decades.  Why?  They come to
+Earth for one reason--THEY WANT OUR TOYS.  Hula hoops and skateboards are
+holy objects to them!  Who knows...you may find some toys useful!
+
+There are signs everywhere.  You haven't been able to decipher them yet....
+
+~        THE ADVENTURE BEGINS...
+
+Your task is before you.  Go get 'em, Commander Keen!

+Mothership hovering over the Earth, ready to destroy all of Earth's cities

+and find a way to neutralize the Mothership!  If he fails...THE EARTH
+EXPLODES! (No pressure.)

+Keen flies to the planet Vorticon VI to once and for all rid the galaxy of
+the Vorticon menace.  The entire planet is waiting for his arrival, with
