Commander Keen 5: The Armageddon Machine

Description

Commander Keen 5: The Armageddon Machine is a platform game, the fifth in the Commander Keen series as a whole, and the second in the second series Goodbye, Galaxy.

Eight-year-old genius Billy "Commander Keen" Blaze, having learnt about the alien Shikadi's plans to destroy the galaxy, arrives on board of their ship, the Omegamatic, in order to destroy it and prevent the evil deed. The objective is to reach and destroy the core of the Omegamatic, but before this happens, Billy must find and destroy four machines which protect the main elevator.

The game begins with a top-down map of the Omegamatic. This is the level select screen, where Billy can walk around and the player can choose the next level they want to enter. On each level, Billy has to either make your way to the exit, or destroy a vital machine if there is one on this level. Once a level is completed, Billy ends up back on the overhead map.

The levels are full of enemies, mostly robots of various kinds. There are also many deadly hazards. If Keen gets shot or touched by an enemy, or falls into a pit or touches something hazardous, he dies and loses one life.

Thankfully, Keen can stun most enemies with his raygun. He also carries a pogo stick which allows him to jump very high. Other items to find include: ammo, gems and keycards that are needed to open locked doors, bonus items which give score, jars of "Vitalin" (100 of them give an extra life) and the rare Keg O' Vitalin which gives an extra life.

Trivia

Easter Eggs:

1. In the level "Energy Flow Systems", go as far down as you can on the right, where you have to put the yellow gem. Find it and put it in or type TAB simultaneously. And open the door and go as far right as you can and jump up with holding the right arrow. You will go to a secret and below you there will be one of the Game engineers' name!

2. To see the director's first name: a) Go to the level "Brownian Motion Inducer". b) Go to the end where you have to put the blue and the yellow gem. c) Look down and you will see the director's first name! And to see his surname a) At the place where you have 3 choices to jump up to the 3 doors, go to the first door. b) Go in the door. c) Go where you put the blue and yellow gem (you don't need the gems). d) Look down.
