"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!
