OK, Someone asked for cheats for Keen I have what I think is
the most complete cheat list so I will post it.  If anyone
finds anymore cheats please mail me.  I will be posting a
similar message for Wolfenstein for those who have been asking
for that (even though it has been posted numerous times.)

CHEAT MODE:
Commander Keen I
<CT>+[SPACE] = Gives Keen a pogostick, all of the keycards and lots
               of ray gun charges.
<GOD>        = Enters GOD mode.  While in GOD mode creatures cannot
               kill Keen.  Also if you have the pogostick and are
               currently bouncing on it you can hold down CTRL to
               fly through the air.
               NOTE: Fire, spikes and open holes will still kill Keen.
 
NOTE: Anything inside of <> means to hold those keys down.  A + means to
press the key located behind it in addition to the keys you are holding
down.  [SPACE] means the space bar, not the letters SPACE.
 
NOTE2: These have been tested with KEEN 1 only.  They may or may not
work for Keen 2 and 3.  See bellow for cheats that work with Keen 4 & 5.
 
 
DEBUG MODE:
Commander Keen IV
Commander Keen V
Commander Keen VI
 
<F9>         = BOSS mode.  This can be done anytime I don't know
               if it was documented or not.  Makes it look like
               your in DOS if your BOSS walks in.
A+2+<enter>  = Debugging keys  (need to use this one first or the
               others below don't work...)  Except KEEN6.  Keen 6
               doesn't need this just use the keys bellow.
 
<F10>+J      = Extended JUMP mode
<F10>+D      = Record DEMO mode.  Press it again to save the demo.
<F10>+T      = Sprite Test.  Use cursor keys to scroll through sprites.
<F10>+P      = Pause.  This one allows you to use screens capture programs.
<F10>+S      = Slow Motion (Pretty Useless.)
<F10>+V      = Extra VBLs  (I think some sort of frame rate for slow machines.)
<F10>+C      = Tells how many objects are active and inactive.
<F10>+I      = Free Items (gives you all the jewels and a wetsuit)
<F10>+N      = No clipping (float right through walls and ceilings
               and floors ... NOTE: makes you disappear if you're
               already on the main floor)  This is good for the map
               because you can skip levels and walk through obstructions.
<F10>+G      = GOD mode (nothing can kill you in this mode)
<F10>+W      = Warp to level (numbered 1 to 18)
 
 
NOTE: where a sequence is in <>, you press and hold that key in addition
to the other keys in the sequence. Also, don't press the + for those 
sequences -- that's just to make things prettier on screen.
 
There is also a practice mode available that will give you infinite lives to
practice a certain level.  The only problem with this is that if you use the
control panel, you can only play paddle war or return to the game or the
system locks up.  Also, if you leave the level in any way (finishing it, etc)
the system will lock up.
 
To practice, boot the game with:  KEEN4E /TEDLEVEL ??
    where ?? can be any number from 0 to 18.

Ok there it is.  Hope this helps you out.  My favorite is the jump
cheat.  Its fun floating around.  In fact Apogee has some stuff in
weird places and I think they put it there for people who discovered
the cheats because I don't see how you could get to some of the
stuff without the ability to float anywhere on the screen.
