chexquest (Chex Quest 1 and 2, first-person shooter games)
|
|
|
|
Chex Quest is an award-winning promotional game created by Digital
|
|
Cafe and released in 1996, utilizing the Doom engine. The player is
|
|
embodied as Chex Warrior, a hero attempting to rescue captured Chex
|
|
people from evil slime creatures known as Flemoids who have invaded
|
|
the Intergalactic Federation of Cereals' mining outpost on the planet
|
|
Bazoik.
|
|
|
|
The game was made available inside boxes of Chex cereal. It
|
|
featured five levels. Because the market for the cereal consisted
|
|
largely of children, the game was made to be deliberately non-violent:
|
|
for example, the enemies in the game are not killed, but are instead
|
|
transported back to their home dimension.
|
|
|
|
Chex Quest 2: Flemoids Take Chextropolis is the second installment
|
|
in the Chex Quest series, released in 1997. It is an add-on to the
|
|
original, as the first Chex Quest is required to play it.
|
|
|
|
To play the games, you will need a compatible Doom engine installed.
|
|
The recommended engines are gzdoom, zdoom, and crispy-doom. You can
|
|
also try odamex, prboom-plus, doomretro, or skulltag, but they're not
|
|
100% compatible. You won't need any .wad files from any of the Doom
|
|
games, since Chex Quest is a total conversion.
|
|
|
|
The package includes both games, wrapper scripts to launch them from
|
|
the command line, and desktop entries to launch them from the KDE or
|
|
XFCE menu.
|
|
|
|
