Story

The foul-hearted Mortimer McMire has a plot to poison everyone in the world, using poisons he is currently developing on the fair isle of Inishmort, which lies off the west coast of Ireland. (Nobody seems to have discovered it until Mortimer did). Noble, honest, iron-fisted Defender Of Galactic Justice, Commander Keen, must therefore save the world again. For the umpteenth time he must steal four poisons to save everything.

Trivia

Though the island in this game is fictional, its name is a pun on a beautiful and fully real island called Inishmore (Irish: Inis Mór) of the west coast of Ireland, and which is much beloved of the mod's author. Read more here.

Items

The point items in this mod are fruit. But the score you get is too low to ever get the 20,000 point extra life.
