The Nerd: If you're playin' this on a DOS emulator, the mouse sucks. Y'know, the Movies for Mom and Dad section? The Nerd: Sounds like some of the titles in the video store. The opening screen looks pretty cool, the game moves fast and looks a lot better than Super Noah's Ark 3D! The difficulty choices really rub me the wrong way: Easy Does It, Not So Sticky, Gobs of Goo, Extreme Ooze and Super Slimey! aren't bad for '96! It's pretty much what I'd expect from a rebuild of Doom. They did start calling him Chex Warrior later on, kinda like Doomguy changing to Doom Slayer. The Nerd: Also, it's kinda weird the main character is named Chex Man, when there's a bunch of Chex people in this game! Why is he THE Chex Man? Maybe it's his last name. I just never heard the word "Zorch" before, and the zapping looks kinda painful. The Nerd: The box says, "Ready! Aim! Zorch!" So, I guess "Zorch" means to transport the booger guys back to their own dimension. It's a family-friendly first-person shooter, an FFFPS. The Nerd: One thing I should bring up: There's no guns, chainsaws or BFGs. So now our hero, Chex Man, goes in to send the Flemoids back to their dimension. They've taken over the planet Bazoik! where all the nutritious foods are made, and now they need to be stopped. They survive off of cereal and nutritious foods. Basically, there's these evil aliens from another dimension called "Flemoids". The Nerd: If you're playin' with the original CD, you get this intro animation explaining the story.
The Nerd: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM- (he keels over behind the box. He looks at the box: "BEST IF USED BY MAR 27 1996") The Nerd: So, anyway, let me finish this, and then we'll start the game!
CHEX QUEST BRUTAL DOOM FREE
The Nerd: But hey, even if it sucks, at least we get 50 free hours of AOL! That screenshot, right there.
CHEX QUEST BRUTAL DOOM SOFTWARE
So, you think a free re-skin of Ultimate Doom would be good? A family-friendly first-person shooter that uses the source code from an id Software game?! Reminds me of Super Noah's Ark 3D. I mean, come on! A FREE first-person shooter game? About Chex?! I mean, look at Pepsiman! We all know how that game turned out! And that game cost REAL money! To BUY! ¥2800 in '99, so about forty bucks in the US, nowadays. Crazy, right? I remember seeing the commercials with that kickin' guitar riff, and those cool kids eating Chex, and thinkin' to myself: "Oh wow, a free FPS? FPS probably stands for Fuckin' Piece of SHIET!" In '96, General Mills went above and beyond by putting a free video game in every box of Chex! And the game. Yeah, remember getting prizes in your cereal? They were usually some piece of shit toy that would break, but for some reason, we all flipped the shit when we'd find these! They were awesome! It was like a little bonus in your breakfast. a cereal box? I swear, if a Chex Man comes out and starts turning all my games into Chex, I'm gonna lose it! I just got rid of all that Pepsi left over from that silver son of a bitch! But man. The Nerd: The Hell? "Chex Quest"? A game. (He pours out the cereal and a CD falls out.) You wanna play some more shitty games? Y'know, I just woke up, I just woke up! Can I just have my healthy, balanced breakfast?! (The Nerd appears with a bowl, some milk, and a box of Chex.)
