Back when my family first moved to Vegas, we bought Chex cereal for the first time just because it had a computer game in it. That computer game was "Chex Quest" and it blew my fucking mind.
It's a total rip-off of Doom (which I had never played), where you play as a giant piece of Chex cereal and use weapons called Zorchers to send goo blobs back to wherever the fuck goo blobs come to Chex-man's turf from.
I could not, as hard as I tried, ever get past the first level.
Thirteen years later it exists as freeware and can be run on Windows XP (although it originates as a DOS program and could be run on Windows 3.1!)
I beat it in two hours. It's still fun as shit, and now I can actually play it properly. The original creator has even made sequels, which is awesome and I will probably hang out with those too (next time I'm bored at work).
Nostalgia achieved. And a big up to 1up.com for listing "Chex Quest 3" as one of the top 101 Free Games of 2009. I never would of remembered "Chex Quest" without this article.
P.S. Dark Forces also rocked my world back in the day. I still have the original disc for this! Check out the wiki after the jump.
