In the modernised Definitive Edition of the lost episode &#8220;Keen Dream&#8221;, Keen has to fend off a nasty nightmare about evil vegetables. The Definitive Edition features full widescreen support, twelve all-new levels &#8211; doubling the length over the 1990 original &#8211; and a full music score.
