Oh, maaaan! Chex Quest. The game that introduced the FPS genre to an entire generation of children who’s parents wouldn’t let them play Doom. It’s one of the only games that managed to be nearly entirely driven by product placement (of cereal, no less) while somehow not sucking.
At some point, the creators of Chex Quest 1 and 2 began work on a third installment. Somewhere down the line, it was abandoned. A beta copy was posted to the internet, and the project went silent for right around 10 years. Until now..
Charles Jacobi, the original artist of the Chex Quest series, returned to the game to finish the job. Driven by the love of a fan community, he has released the finished game online for all to enjoy. As an added bonus, the download also includes enhanced versions of Chex Quest 1 and 2.
If you’re aching for a heavy hit of nostalgia, check it out. If you’ve never played either of the Chex Quest games, still – check it out. Hell, even if you hate all things Chex with a fiery passion and the only game you like is E.T for the Atari 2600, check it out.

Saw the headline and couldn’t believe that I wasn’t the only one to have played Chex Quest with my bro when I was younger. Heck yes I am downloading this, and might run out to get some rice chex to get the full experience.
Goodness gracious…
I thought about this game recently… I absolutely LOVED it…
Guess there’s more than 2 of us now haha.

This peice of infomation is wrong. A old Chex Quest 3 was made by some mystery Chex Fan, It was full of stolen content like grahics and levels from other DooM Wads, but who ever made it is not part of the offical Chex Quest Fans Fourms. The orignal creators don’t have anything to do with the “Chex Quest 3 beta”.
Otherwize, the real Chex Quest 3 is out, Rejoice!
