@@demonicspire1345 yeah absolutely but when I have a good idea for it. You guys aren't going to unlock the secret Half-Life 2 video with the 1,000,000th request for it... ...OR WILL YOU?
In the first one when I had a controller connected one of the buttons would open a menu that said Episode 1: Knee Deep in the Dead. Hadn't played Doom yet so that was very confusing in a game that was selling itself on its nonviolence

The fact Chex game has a Level Result of a protagonist scraping guts off his boot & no other game, including Doom, Nukem, Blood, etc. shows what's wrong with our society. That is one of the most metal things I've seen it in a game.
Fun fact: growing up poor, my family didn't get a working PC until I was maybe fifteen. I had about four copies of Chex Quest I had been holding onto because I loved corn Chex growing up. Chex Quest was my first PC game.
When John Oliver talked about this game, he revealed something both shocking and yet unshocking about it's development...... they hired a high school kid that was STILL IN SCHOOL to make the game unpaid, and despite this, that kid made a solid and fun doom clone that boosted the sale of chex by the MILLIONS, and he didn't get paid for any of it. That dude is a goddamn legend for not only making a solid banger of a doom cline but then after the crunched and rushed development of the secons, still had the passion and desire to spend 11 years in making the perfect final trilogy and he NAILED IT.
The fucking "OOUGH" sound Chexman makes in this game is sampled in a song by Skism and Trampa and I feel insane for pointing it out every time the song comes on
Here's a fun fact: If you load Chex Quest as a PWAD for Doom, you'll essentially disable the total conversion and get to play Chex Quest's levels in Doom. You can also load Doom as a PWAD for Chex Quest to achieve the opposite effect.
I tried to do this, but all it did was load the "rules" differences between them, i.e. when loading CHEX.WAD as a PWAD on top of DOOM.WAD to create "The Ultimate CHEX", it was just Chex Quest 1 but the Flemoids shoot back and drop ammo when killed - no Doom levels, textures, sound effects, etc.. When loading DOOM.WAD as a PWAD on top of CHEX.WAD to create "Doom Quest", the Zombiemen do not shoot at me and don't drop ammo on death. Other than that, it's Doom 1.
Not that people are foaming at the mouth for Chex Quest Lore. But the version of Episode 2 in this video was actually a remastered version made with Chex Quest 3. The original Episode 2 was significantly worse. The movie theater level in particular being particularly unfinished This is also why the skyboxes and levels look like a step up in quality (for the most part) But as mentioned, Episode 2 was super rushed out, so im glad they were able to make a version they were happier with
There was also changes to episode 1 in the chex3.wad. Although mostly less dramatic. There is actually two chex3.wads floating out there online, with minor differences that make them incompatible for online play. The theater level has noticeable differences between the two versions.
This is the game that finally enlarged my preteen testicles enough to play DOOM. My dad owned and played DOOM damn near religiously. I couldn't handle it at 6-7; too damn scary. Then I played Chex Quest, immediately realized it was Cereal DOOM, got used to the mechanics, and finally grew into DOOM on my own. Dad used to laugh at how scared I was, but I remember the day I proudly showed him I could get all the way to the bruiser brothers on my own. Love this game, and I love you dad.
I was not expecting Chex Quest 3 to be such a step-up, from the others. I was also not expecting Chex Quest 3 to be a thing at all. Also, while not a shooter, Kingdom Come: Deliverance could be considered a Czech's Quest in its own right, since it takes place in Bohemia. (come to think of it, HROT is probably a Czech's Quest too)
11:55. Here in Brazil, that's EXACTLY how Jaws is called. Shark, no more no less. Jaws, in portuguese, is a word used mostly by doctors so here it has a super-formal vibe.
Should be noted that Chex Quest HD added more lore to the game. Including a whole roster of playable breakfast themed characters with their own unique voice lines.
Yeah but I mean, Chex Quest HD is so bad... I mean, maybe my expectations for it were too high, given how big a part of my childhood gaming experience Chex Quest was, but I'm pretty sure it's also just bad.
@@KamiNoBaka1 It was disappointing to me also. The amateur 3d graphics don't compare to the cel-shaded animated look of the original. The new character designs are pretty good though.
Speaking of corporate shenanigans, the Chex hole actually goes deeper. You see in 96/97 when General Mills acquired the rights to the Chex "As well as Cookie Crisp and a couple odds and ends" that was just the beginning. Ralson-Purina ceased to exist as one company and split itself into 2 separate companies. The pet foods division "Purina" would be acquired by Nestle; And the cereal brands that were not acquired by General Mills "Ralston" were later built into a bulk/generic cereal manufacturer called Ralston Foods.
Why do cereal companies have such bizarre corporate shenanigans. General mills built Alvin the deep sea submersible that went to challenger deep and went to the Titanic.
@@invictus_1245right? Sounds more like a Quaker Oats move. Not just because Quakers were historically whalers but thats also the company that produces Cap'n Crunch, and you can't tell me sending a submersible into the Titanic doesn't sound like a PR stunt with "Vengence on the Soagies" written all over it.
Let's not forget that Ralston cereals usually tasted like shit. They had all the big pop culture sponsors and every time it was just dog food in different shapes you poured milk on.
You did it CV11! I somehow made it 28 years since this came out not knowing what Chex Quest actually looked like. It was 28 years of rumors, whispers, silent giggles around me as people mentioned this game's existence, but I remained ever-so-ignorant. And then on April first, I made it the whole day thinking that it was legitimately a prank, waiting for that TH-cam notification, just to open the page today. You were my first, and probably last, Chex Quest CV11.
It's really not that bad and worth a play. I miss the days where companies used to actually care a little about their consumers and go the extra mile like that. There were a handful of games we got out of cereal boxes as kids. I had some lame ones like that Captain Crunch one and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, some okay board game ports like Clue and Monopoly. The Euro crowd got lucky and had bangers like Age of Empires and Roller Coaster Park Tycoon in some of their cereals :(
@@FuzedBox I mostly just never had the opportunity or remembered to really look it up? Memes aside, I didn't really have a PC in my house for quite some time despite really liking PC gaming. I do remember there were some neat company-brand games for consoles I enjoyed as a kid. Cool Spot was actually one I remember renting a fair few times when I was a kid and thought was a fever dream until videos of people playing it surfaced online lol.
Come for the Chex Quest review, stay for the discussion of how the Chexists massacred Count Chocula’s family and the baby carriage scene from Spaceship Potemkin. You get my like Civvie 👍
His family didn't deserve what happened to them, but screw Count Chocula. He let his advisors blame minority groups instead of fixing problems, started wars that backfired, and kept making the situation worse for everyone by trying to hold onto power when everyone had enough of him. If Count Chocula didn't want to be staked, he should have been a better ruler.
Civvie is low-key one of the better comedy writers on TH-cam, and me crying about Count Chocula weighing his children down with heavy boxes of cereal just reinforces it.
@@thisismybassgun Wait, I thought the Chexists threw the Count and his family’s corpses into a well after the massacre? All in the effort to prevent the return of the Ralston Imperial throne…
This might seem like a small detail but the falling flem meteors in the background is, I think, one of the only times in a Doom game of this era where you could feel the scale of the apocalypse on the world from a first person perspective.
Yeah I was WAITING for the monster closet reveal and wasn't disappointed, but was still surprised at the sheer number of them. Still, since they were all melee it was fair. That could have been a lot nastier. Great design!
@@plantain.1739Kelloggs. Corn flakes aren’t what most people think. The corn flakes keep you chaste and pure, unless you put sugar on them, the Frosted Flakes are the devil’s temptation cereal.
15:30 Because one game developer from the 90s simply could not rest until the hanging plot thread from the rushed-out sequel to a naked cash grab was resolved. And I have nothing but respect for that man, because Chex 3 looks like it _slaps._
Chex Warrior's weapon doesn't kill them but sends them to another dimension. I guess the makers of Chex Quest studied at the Ocean Group DBZ school of censorship.
What i love about Civvie is that he clearly love those funky little games. I had more fun watching this video than i'd probably ever had booting it up on my doom emulator,and that's a big praise for a game reviewer
Broke: "Source port." Woke: "Doom emulator." Conglaturations you've permanently affected the vocabulary I will use when talking about Doom from today onwards.
I remember getting this randomly at a Sams Club in 1997, learning about it only from the box, and somehow, brainlet seven-year old me figuring out this was a Doom mod. Given that I was banned from Doom for some time, this was a real treat for me. I'm amazed how much I remember the level design of this game.
I'm actually impressed by the lack of cereal puns. I guess they were a bit too much of a low-hanging fruit, which is also part of this delicious and nutritious breakfast.
11:10 Oh wow, that track is a Chex original?! I heard it in Solar Struggle first and could swear it was composed by someone in the Doom community! That's dope. 11:57 Fun fact, the title in Portuguese for Jaws is indeed "Shark" (Tubarão).
@@guilhermehank4938 There's 210-ish millions of us. It's bizarre to think of an online community that _doesn't_ feature at least one concealed Brazilian, even if he or she is on stealth mode.
Chex Quest on nightmare is honestly a bit of a riot. It makes it feel more like an actual invasion as they teleport in just aa quickly as you zorch them out Also, the rocket launcher doesnt deal splash damage to the player, but it does to the enemies. You can take several out by getting right in their snotty faces
Thank you! The AOL mention brought back memories of my parents saving each AOL 50 hour disc with the thought we could cash them all in for all the AOL time in the world!
@@alexello1189 you can play doom and doom 2 in eternal as bonus games, but they're the bfg versions so they're censored and broken. you can still swap the wads out though and play chex quest 1 and 2 in it, but because Chex quest does things like actual code edits for removing episode selection and changing text and enemy info to make some enemy types like the baron replacements not move at all as well as making the game end on level 5 and not 8, you will get a broken experience
Against all the evil that Flemoid can conjure, all the wickedness that breakfast kind can produce. We will send unto them.. only you. Crunch and munch, until it is done.
This felt old school Civvie 11 and I liked that. Just missing a few characters but I get it. Hard to come up with a way to bring in Hammer, Cancer Mouse, and AX3 into everything.
The "part of a complete breakfast" comment, referring to the "Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs" cereal being supplemented by a bunch of actual nutritious foods, reminds me of an old Calvin and Hobbes comic where Calvin reads the same comment and Hobbes notes that it shows a guy eating a dozen bran muffins, some grapefruits, etc.
9:29 For mid 90s/2000s kids like me, I learned what an arboretum was thanks to playing Psychonauts on Xbox in 2008. Specifically The Milkman Conspiracy level. (“The plant place. It’s like a garden but more shrubby & scientific.” Ford Cruller, 2004 or 2005) The psychonauts arboretum sucked though as it was just bunch of hedges and an annoying gate puzzle. Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness’s Bio-Research Facility, Bioshock’s Arcadia or System Shock’s groves this was not.
I love it that the Pineapple Under the Sea Speedmapper Brigade made a full Doom 2 wad with these assets. Its a fun coat of paint for the classic doom gameplay. Awesome vid. ❤
You know that between levels screen with the chex guy scraping flemoid off his boot is pretty gnarly if you think about it, he's scraping guts off his boot in effect.
@@KnightLightXL IKR? I swear, Civvie11 is the exception to the rule of fun in the Doom Community sometimes. It's almost like people in the Doom Community sometimes just forget what having fun is all about. But then again, I guess fun to them is completing the same game over. And over. And over. It's either that or "I use mods. Fuck yeah I do. The ones I use I love, cos it's SO individualistic. 1-shoting everything with my stupid OP starter pistol that nukes everything on the map immediately with 1 bullet. Such awesome mod!!! Very boom boom!!!" If there's a mid-ground, it must be VERY small. It's like them mil-sim guys. Don't even suggest a VISABLE red laser sight. You'll start a small "It'Z NAwt RAELIZDIC doe!1eleventyone!!" war over there. lol
Imagine having your flesh scooped out of you at high speed is pretty violent, bootspork is potentially one of most unintendedly violent weapons in fps history
13:59 half a second of 'superfast jellyfish' by the gorillaz, because of the breakfast commercial spliced into that song. That's an A+, yet tiny addition to the video. Great work.
When you lean so hard into the gimmick you actually create something special and worthy of the effort. Kudos to the semi-international cereal conglomerate formerly known as Ralston and the devs who gave a damn.
I like how civvie actually seemed like he was having fun in this video. Parents wouldn't let me play Doom when I was a kid, but they let me play this! I have a lot of good memories from playing this game as a child.
Damn you for making a super entertaining video about a cd that fell out of your cereal box. Minus points though for not including a gag about you accidentally eating it like Bart and the jagged metal Krusty-o.
Civvie: "I lust for Blood" Well, we knew that. Given how much he praises that game (deserved praise but still), it wouldn't surprise me if he had a Caleb bodypillow.
11:50 - Ah, a classic Battleship Potemkin reference the children shall truly enjoy. 12:35 - But holy shit do I really appreciate this as an adult, rofl. 15:20 - Absolutely brilliant.
The madlad waited until April 2nd so we would know he meant it.
I mean, his April 1st videos are generally serious videos anyway. He really put the effort into a full review for that wario Land virtual boy game.

12:08
Was there a cereal Khmar Rouge?
@@plantain.1739yes.
Digestical Chexist-Leninism will guide us to victory!
@@plantain.1739Kelloggs. Corn flakes aren’t what most people think.
The corn flakes keep you chaste and pure, unless you put sugar on them, the Frosted Flakes are the devil’s temptation cereal.
15:30 Because one game developer from the 90s simply could not rest until the hanging plot thread from the rushed-out sequel to a naked cash grab was resolved. And I have nothing but respect for that man, because Chex 3 looks like it _slaps._
Tell me about it. Valve's got nothin' with this guy in mind.
That's dedication right here folks.
Imagine being the 90s kids who woke up one Christmas morning to unwrap Tekwar under instead of a box of Chex.
Absolutely tragic.
As someone once said:
"Nobody steals our cereal, and lives!"
I believe the line is: "Nobody steals our Chex...and lives!"
Chex Warrior's weapon doesn't kill them but sends them to another dimension.
I guess the makers of Chex Quest studied at the Ocean Group DBZ school of censorship.
I've got bowls of steel!
@@stainless_steel_saint Username checks out.
Was it Fred Flinstone?
4:40 donut man? That’s obviously a Cheerio, Civvie
Civvie's big lore update in his previous video gave me the understanding that Katie isn't Katie. She's K.D.
What i love about Civvie is that he clearly love those funky little games. I had more fun watching this video than i'd probably ever had booting it up on my doom emulator,and that's a big praise for a game reviewer
Broke: "Source port."
Woke: "Doom emulator."
Conglaturations you've permanently affected the vocabulary I will use when talking about Doom from today onwards.
@@princessmaly ahah i'm happy my abysmal knowledge of computer-related vocabulary will be passed on
I remember getting this randomly at a Sams Club in 1997, learning about it only from the box, and somehow, brainlet seven-year old me figuring out this was a Doom mod. Given that I was banned from Doom for some time, this was a real treat for me. I'm amazed how much I remember the level design of this game.
I'm actually impressed by the lack of cereal puns. I guess they were a bit too much of a low-hanging fruit, which is also part of this delicious and nutritious breakfast.
We're running a super cereal show here... No place for low hanging jokes
Mans can only take that much intestinal high voltage punishment
It's best we don't milk a running gag
Obviously, he doesn't want to get electrocuted.
@RKroese just cuz he can't pun doesn't mean we can't. Way to ruin the joke
Let's appreciate Civvi's ability to abstain himself from Czechoslovakia puns throughout comunism segment
11:10 Oh wow, that track is a Chex original?! I heard it in Solar Struggle first and could swear it was composed by someone in the Doom community! That's dope.
11:57 Fun fact, the title in Portuguese for Jaws is indeed "Shark" (Tubarão).
And I know how to say "Shark" in Portuguese thanks to a certain game about war crimes and freelance work.
I love how many Brazilian fans Civvie have
@@guilhermehank4938 There's 210-ish millions of us. It's bizarre to think of an online community that _doesn't_ feature at least one concealed Brazilian, even if he or she is on stealth mode.
Missed chance to say "PROFESSIONAL CEREAL KILLER"
That's Brutal Chex Quest. x3
makes you think he kills cereal, but actually he IS a cereal who also happens to be a killer
The protagonist probably is a rehabilitated cereal killer after all...
Zorch and spoon until it's done.
Snap! Craaackle! Pop!
Chex Quest on nightmare is honestly a bit of a riot. It makes it feel more like an actual invasion as they teleport in just aa quickly as you zorch them out
Also, the rocket launcher doesnt deal splash damage to the player, but it does to the enemies. You can take several out by getting right in their snotty faces
I'll have to try that someday.
The rocket launcher thing, that's something they fixed for Chex Quest 3. Originally it worked exactly like the rocket launcher, splash damage and all.
12:02 - Ok, Minnesota Joe's catchphrase got me good. (Don'cha know.)
Moments like the unhinged rambling about cereal Leninism are always unexpected but they’re pure civvie charm
Thank you! The AOL mention brought back memories of my parents saving each AOL 50 hour disc with the thought we could cash them all in for all the AOL time in the world!
Its amazing that the devs went this hard for a cereal game for Chex of all things FREAKING CHEX.
I love that one of the devs stepped up to make the final game of the trilogy
absolutely based!
He sure helped Finish the Fight. Not many otherwise good games have this luxury.
This is really how I learn Snoop Dogg has his own brand of cereal
Fun Fact, you can actually play chex quest in Doom Eternal if you swap out the wad file.
….elaborate? I can’t understand how that’s technology possible. Does enternal have a whole retro mode with sprite rendering? How do enemies look??
@@alexello1189 You can unlock the original Doom and Doom 2 in Doom Eternal on a computer in Doomguy's lair.
@@alexello1189 you can play doom and doom 2 in eternal as bonus games, but they're the bfg versions so they're censored and broken. you can still swap the wads out though and play chex quest 1 and 2 in it, but because Chex quest does things like actual code edits for removing episode selection and changing text and enemy info to make some enemy types like the baron replacements not move at all as well as making the game end on level 5 and not 8, you will get a broken experience
@@alexello1189 You can play DOOM and DOOM 2 in Eternal, on a computer in the Fortress of Doom
That third chapter has more care put into it than most current AAA games.
A certified labor of love.

Whoa, didn't expect to get this stoked about a cereal video game, but this is a gem. Apparently a modern reboot happened a few years ago as well. :O
All jokes aside, hell of a game to get in a cereal box.
You can tell the devs had a blast making this.
Against all the evil that Flemoid can conjure, all the wickedness that breakfast kind can produce. We will send unto them.. only you. Crunch and munch, until it is done.
This felt old school Civvie 11 and I liked that. Just missing a few characters but I get it. Hard to come up with a way to bring in Hammer, Cancer Mouse, and AX3 into everything.
"Some people hunger for Chex, *but I lust for blood.*"
Chex might not contain any meat but that line is raw
12:25 Oh, that's the Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture outside the Walker in Minneapolis. Neat.
SPOOON!
The "part of a complete breakfast" comment, referring to the "Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs" cereal being supplemented by a bunch of actual nutritious foods, reminds me of an old Calvin and Hobbes comic where Calvin reads the same comment and Hobbes notes that it shows a guy eating a dozen bran muffins, some grapefruits, etc.
"Know why you shake like that? Vitamin deficiency, that's why!"
I can't belive Civvie didn't use Smooth Chex Quest
9:29 For mid 90s/2000s kids like me, I learned what an arboretum was thanks to playing Psychonauts on Xbox in 2008. Specifically The Milkman Conspiracy level. (“The plant place. It’s like a garden but more shrubby & scientific.” Ford Cruller, 2004 or 2005)
The psychonauts arboretum sucked though as it was just bunch of hedges and an annoying gate puzzle. Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness’s Bio-Research Facility, Bioshock’s Arcadia or System Shock’s groves this was not.
That little brief background clip of 'superfast jellyfish' at 20:54 killed me, excellent choice.
Welcome to the world of the plastic beach!
I love it that the Pineapple Under the Sea Speedmapper Brigade made a full Doom 2 wad with these assets. Its a fun coat of paint for the classic doom gameplay.
Awesome vid. ❤
18:02 that stage is giving me vibes of the crazy hard Courthouse in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
At least this game made it so that it's real. Wolfenstein II just had to make theirs a fantasy sequence just because.
You know that between levels screen with the chex guy scraping flemoid off his boot is pretty gnarly if you think about it, he's scraping guts off his boot in effect.
I cannot get enough of that introductory video lmao
the closeups in the intro cutscene are something else.
This isn't just a Doom clone. This is a Doom UPGRADE.
Cheap knockoff of doom would sound better than clone.
@@morkgin2459Cheap knock off? Hardly
Calm down, it's not better than the original Doom, don't get ahead of yourself.
@@morkgin2459 Ooooo I dunno. This has a proper video intro to it after all. All Doom got was text. Sounds like an upgrade right there.
@@KnightLightXL IKR? I swear, Civvie11 is the exception to the rule of fun in the Doom Community sometimes. It's almost like people in the Doom Community sometimes just forget what having fun is all about. But then again, I guess fun to them is completing the same game over. And over. And over. It's either that or "I use mods. Fuck yeah I do. The ones I use I love, cos it's SO individualistic. 1-shoting everything with my stupid OP starter pistol that nukes everything on the map immediately with 1 bullet. Such awesome mod!!! Very boom boom!!!" If there's a mid-ground, it must be VERY small. It's like them mil-sim guys. Don't even suggest a VISABLE red laser sight. You'll start a small "It'Z NAwt RAELIZDIC doe!1eleventyone!!" war over there. lol
The Plastic Beach (specifically Superfast Jellyfish) references that accompany the Supercharged Breakfasts gave me _life._
I wasn't fully paying attention and had to double back to make sure I heard that correctly. Loved it!
Imagine having your flesh scooped out of you at high speed is pretty violent, bootspork is potentially one of most unintendedly violent weapons in fps history

SHE'S STILL REAL TO ME DAMMIT!!!
I love the Minnesota Joe trilogy!
The two extra sequel movies…they were kinda soggy, dontcha know?
That’s the General Mills “reverse Midas touch”
@@ogreman81Yeah I don't count those, they didn't really have the same feel for crying out loud.
Don't forget that video game "Minnesota Joe and the Fate of Applelantis". Works like a truer fourth storyline than even the actual fourth film.
13:59 half a second of 'superfast jellyfish' by the gorillaz, because of the breakfast commercial spliced into that song. That's an A+, yet tiny addition to the video. Great work.
When you lean so hard into the gimmick you actually create something special and worthy of the effort. Kudos to the semi-international cereal conglomerate formerly known as Ralston and the devs who gave a damn.
Civvie upload days are my favorite days.
“This is a children’s game and you fill it with shit” the absolute vitriol.😂
the fact that there was a 10-year timeskip both in and out-of-game is beautiful stuff
Loved the first two when I was a kid. I remember playing them along with Doom and Duke 3D on my parents’ PC back in the day.
Thanks for the blast from the past with the Hoboken Chicken Emergency. 🐔
i caught that 2 secs of gorrillaz, now i have to listen to Plastic Beach... Thanks Civvie!
15:11 Civvie trying not to laugh at that part is kinda wholesome in a way
I like how civvie actually seemed like he was having fun in this video. Parents wouldn't let me play Doom when I was a kid, but they let me play this! I have a lot of good memories from playing this game as a child.
Man that was definitely worth the wait and now I'm patiently awaiting the Chip's Challenge video.
"This is where the fun begins!" - war criminal in a galaxy far far away
Honestly the voice acting is just ok, which is a lot better than it should be for a free cereal video game.
Damn you for making a super entertaining video about a cd that fell out of your cereal box. Minus points though for not including a gag about you accidentally eating it like Bart and the jagged metal Krusty-o.
Cereal man is my favorite Ultramarine from Doom Nukem: Apocalypse Weekend…. 3
Honestly, this show is 10x weirder now that Civvie's opened up to us.
I have no idea how to handle this.
15:14
I love how the ball of slime has randy’s face on it
Only Civvie could make a game about cereal this entertaining.
I laughed at "Nobody steals our Chiquitas, and lives."
Another great video edited by Katie.
Civvie: "I lust for Blood"
Well, we knew that. Given how much he praises that game (deserved praise but still), it wouldn't surprise me if he had a Caleb bodypillow.
11:50 - Ah, a classic Battleship Potemkin reference the children shall truly enjoy.
12:35 - But holy shit do I really appreciate this as an adult, rofl.
15:20 - Absolutely brilliant.
Love me some Chex Quest! It was one of the few games (along with OG Mario and Pinball) that my Mom also wanted to play!
That's wholesome. Reminds me of playing Jimmy White's 2: Cueball with my dad.
