Commander Keen 8: Dead in the Desert

Overview

Dead in the Desert is the first complete Keen 6 mod, produced by Ceilick with music composed by Mr.M and ZidaneA. It is the second episode of the unofficial "The Universe is Toast" trilogy, and is often referred to as Keen 8.

The story continues directly after Commander Keen 7: The Keys of Krodacia. After being transported across the universe, Commander Keen finds himself stranded on a desert planet called Calidune. Upon arrival he is greeted by a strange alien who appears to be impostering Commander Keen. After both lacking the credentials to prove who is the real Commander Keen they decide to put aside their differences and work together in order to build a bean-with-bacon rocket ship in order to save the universe from the evil clutches of Mortimer McMire!
