Yet another incomplete "Complete Pack", unforunately. Only Keen 1-5 are included, Keen 6 ist sill missing. As is Keen Dreams, but you can still get the shareware releases of Keen Dreams (it's the full game) for free.

In fairness, that's not Bethesda / ID Software's fault. Atari has Keen 6, so until both parties come to an agreement, it's gonna stay that way.

Is it really true that the shareware version of Keen Dreams is actually the full game?

Yep. According to Wikipedia, there was originally supposed to be an animated intro and outro, in addition to "You've Got to Eat Your Vegetables" as the theme song, but the game wouldn't have fit on a single floppy disk as a result. As for its various (mostly terrible) modern rereleases that you have to pay money for, well...peruse at your own risk.
