This is a fan-made Keen Dreams mod with 16 levels in a holiday theme. Billy Blaze, eight-year-old genius, is the mild mannered identity of Commander Keen - defender of Earth. While the universe was safe once again from the threat of evil aliens and Mortimer McMire, Billy lied snugly in his bed, anticipating the morning to come. It was Christmas Eve and Billy had been extra good that year (he saved the planet, the galaxy, AND the universe--that’s sure to earn him a mountain of presents from Santa Claus). Sleep wasn't coming easily for him that night, however. He watched the snow come down outside his bedroom window as visions of new gadgets and gizmos danced through his head. As his eyes began to droop shut and sleep finally began to settle in, a shadow passed over the window. "Santa!" Billy exclaimed, suddenly wide awake and jumping out of bed and into his bunny slippers. He dashed across the room and down the stairs, waiting behind the Christmas tree for Santa to come down the chimney. Billy's giddy expectation quickly vanished as a large, ugly elf dressed as Santa emerged from the fireplace. The elf held a vacuum like nozzle and began sucking up all the presents from under the tree. "Hey!" Billy exclaimed, stepping out from hiding. "Who are you and what do you think you're doing!" "I am the Bad Elf and I'm going to ruin Christmas for everyone! I've captured Santa Claus and soon all the presents on Earth will belong to me!" "Uh-huh, right." Keen said, and crossed his arms. "Well it’s only fair to warn you that you just robbed the wrong kid. I'm Commander Keen and there's no way I'm letting you get away with this!" "And how are you going to do that if I return to the magical realm of Holidarius! Where- Oh. I shouldn't have told you that..." The Bad Elf clapped his hands and vanished in a poof of smoke and Billy, thinking quick, snatched a snow hat (Magical realms are known to be chilly!) and dove into the cloud of smoke after the elf. The world went black around him and he suddenly felt very sleepy... Billy awoke lying in the snow under a sparkling sky. Looking over the cold, desolate landscape, he saw no sign of Bad Elf. But he can't let the children and families of Earth down! He must rescue Santa and defeat the Bad Elf. "This looks like a job for - Commander Keen!" |
