I found an original game in the sleeve a year or two back at a goodwill for under a dollar. Money well spent. The review is on it, it's good, really good to the point that it should be considered too good for lame advertising stunts. Whoever chex paid to work on this, loved doom and really cared to make something with their time that wasn't garbage like most things of the sort were.
I didn't bother with the crappy install, just pulled the WAD into gzdoom and went at it and it was a good ride. Due to the size it's great to return to if you have like a free hour or less and want to accomplish something.

Pretty sure this was actually my first ever shooter. before even Rainbow Six or Half Life. I'll defend it to the grave.
The arboretum level was stuck in my memory for years before I finally sorted out where it came from. I was young enough when I played this that I still had this sort of implicit expectation that there was a whole videogame world connected to the isolated parts I was seeing, and even though I knew I couldn't access it, I just fundamentally believed it was there. Man, childhood was awesome.

it's weird how chex with sugar added tastes better than it would have if it just came with sugar. that's not usually the case. like kool-aid bursts taste way better than mixing the powder with sugar. but there's just a few cereals that work better with one additional step. like how cheerios with honey taste better than honey nut cheerios, or how grape-nuts is an absolute punishment of a meal until you treat it like instant oatmeal and soak it in butter after heating it in milk.

Honestly I love this game. Idk
If it-s the fact it was kinda the first video came I played or what but i finally own my own MacBook (other computers I-ve had at my disposal crashed all the time and wasn-t even worth it) and of course one of the first things I did was install it. I wonder if there-s a way to use a Bluetooth controller with the game?

Oh my gosh it's been so long! I remember I tried this game out as a child (I was like 7) and got scared the heck out by it because I was just that way when I was young and did NOT expect a first-person-shooter out of a cereal box. XD I don't even know if I still have it because I never touched the game again after trying it for like 5 minutes.

I had this before I had a PC. Actually before I had any video game. I was probably four or five. I asked a tons of people to play it on their hardware. I got a PC a little later but I did not remember this game until I saw the video. Wow, amazing there are even disks for something sort of throwaway.

I remember finding a secret room in this game with pictures of people I assume were the developers. That and I would always ask my dad to put in the 'red eyes' cheat code to make the Chex Warrior invincible. Man, this game was a blast for 5-year old me.

Best game I ever got in a cereal box was Amazon Trail III, which was just Amazon Trail II but with. something added, I've never really figured out what. Anyway, I wish I could run Amazon Trail II or III on modern hardware

I got a Ghostbusters record attached to a box of cereal once, and another time, I got a Ninja Turtles plastic bowl and spoon which I think was shrink wrapped into the cereal box. Good times as a 4 year old or so.

For new-school people who want to play this game, download any version of ZDoom.
GZDoom for high-end PCs, while ZDoom for really crappy PCs.
