THIS REVIEW IS PART OF A BALANCED BREAKFAST
(Read this review right after waking up for the full experience)
Well this is a charming lil game. A somewhat amateur Doom episode with the blood and guns switched for more kid friendly alternatives. All for the price of a box of cereal (box of cereal included)!
Each level takes place in a different part of the Chex Nutrition Research Base (which is on another planet for some reason). After the base is attacked by the Flemoids (not Phlegmoids?) for some reason.
So what about the gameplay? Did you not hear me earlier? It's Doom. Literally just a mod for the original Doom. Although I did find some trouble with the weapons, as instead of distinct guns, you have many gizmos and goobers that shoot red stuff. It gets a bit confusing.
All and all, a pretty charming hour or so. I imagine if you were a kid, who got this out of the cereal your mom made you get instead of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, it would kicked ass!

I just woke up and read this review; it changed my perspective on waking up. Not sure whether the average kid would be playing on PCs in 1996, i know I would have had a crunching time with da goobers
I, too, just woke up and read this review. Great review! Chex Quest is one of those games that I can see myself revisiting, even if games like in unmodded Doom stand tall above it in terms of quality. It's just short and simple enough to make me wanna go "yeah I could knock out another run right now."
