Commander Keen 2 (The Earth Explodes)

A Yorp that Keen brought home from his first adventure.

First, I would just like to say, I was thrilled when I found out Keen took a Yorp home with him. As I mentioned in my last post, the Yorps are my favorite martians that Keen encounters. As a matter of fact, they're my favorite out of all three of the Keens. However, the Scrubs are my favorite out of the aliens in the second episode of Keen. It isn't neccesary to play all the levels to win the game, you only need to win the levels with a certain symbol above the entrance, but I play all the levels anyways. In my time, I have pulled many levers that completely destroyed the Earth. The gray tunnels in two of the pictures, that I put below, remind me of the yellow ones, from Keen 1, that had Gargs hiding in them. I like Keen, so at one point I thought that I was going to get addicted to the different kinds of foods that are in Keen, although that never happened. Take Keen 2 for example, I never found my self wanting a lot of candy bars, cola, hamburgers, or chocolate cake. (I already had a favorite stuffed animal.)

I like how in Keen 2 you can stand on cans.

I like the levels where you need all the keys.

That red guy is a scrub.

The beginning starts where Keen 1 left off. If you played Keen 1, you might recall that when it ends there is a mother ship ready to destroy Earth. Keen lands on the ship and that is where Keen 2 starts. I like how there isn't a gap between the two episodes. Not a minute. Keen 2 ends with the mother ship heading back to the planet it came from which leaves Keen 3, which has Commander Keen going to the planet to end this once and for all. But I won't talk too much about that, that'll be for my next post.
