What It Is, With Reservations
1st off, though what most people complain about is technically true, like Obi Wan Kenobi may say, "from a certain point of view," in as much it's also true that the entire main series is included since the others are side games, not distributed nor even available due ownership rights, etc. Fact: Keen Dreams and Aliens Ate My Babysitter are (or rather, were) side games owned and published by Softdisk, not Apogee, the latter game created about the same time as Goodbye Galaxy but separated due development time table and release problems, also the at time publishing company's enforcing split of what was then a sequel trilogy into Goodbye Galaxy, the second game of which was ironically finished after Aliens, and the "store only release" which became AAMB. Furthermore, the apocryphal nature of both Dreams (being exactly that) and Aliens being a side story, sequel, and cliffhanger--and let's not even entertain Keen GBC as anything more than an after thought, not just because it's atrocious, but just because... because--and you can see why this "complete collection" is as complete as it gets w/o pre purchases or vaporware. Besides, these are still great games, and definite recommends. Although... if you ask me, even for their time time, they could have used a bit more ending flourish. Stills would do. Without, it just feels lazy, cheap, and more than a little cheated.

Great if you never bought it on 3.5"
Keen Dreams was done or acquired by another company, and Aliens Ate My Babysitter is stand-alone, so Complete meants all from the main Keen series. It's not 'false advertising' because the missing ones are separate.

Everything kills you
I have to admit, I don't have much nostalgia for these games. When they came out, I was already spoiled by the much better console platformers, so I played them for a few minutes at a friend's and then moved on to other games. The first few episodes are almost unplayable. Really poor level design with treats just seemingly thrown everywhere, like someone just randomly clicked all over the place in a level editor. The later games are much better with clearly more thought put into the layout and your character having additional abilities like grabbing onto platform edges to pull himself up. The large, animated enemies look great too. The problem I find with even these later episodes (and many of these early DOS platformers) is how unforgiving they can be. Touch anything and you die, even if you came crashing down on its head with a pogo stick. To make matters worse, the collision detection is spotty and, of course, not in your favour. Die and you have to start from the beginning of the level again. I find using DOSBox-X or DOSBox Pure with the snapshot or rewind feature really helps reduce the frustration in these cases and makes the game a lot more enjoyable.
