Mort 1: Doomship Dilemma mod for Commander Keen

Story:

Mortimer McMire, evil eight year-old genius, has been fighting with his arch-nemesis Billy Blaze for as long as he had the misfortune of knowing him. Billy always got in the way of Mortimers plans, causing him no end of trouble and allowing inferior minds to continue to plague the universe. However, despite Billy Blaze (a.k.a. Commander Keen) is meddling, Mortimer has managed to unite some of the more intelligent races to help him destroy this menace once and for all. To them, he is known as:

THE GRAND INTELLECT--the most intelligent being in the universe!

With his many followers and his high I.Q., he rids the galaxy of the weak minded and paves the way for a new, golden age!

Episode One: Doomship Dilemma

In this episode, Commander Keen has halted the launch of Mortimer's Mangling Machine by stealing important components. This major setback will throw a wrench in Mort's plans if the parts are not retreived post-haste, and none of his minions are brave enough to go get them. Oh well, if you want something done right...
