Anyone here familiar with Chex Quest?
In my opinion, it was the best thing to ever come out of a cereal box. It was a short-glorified doom mod, but I spent hours going through the same five levels over and over again. They then released a sequel that was downloadable. More hours of my life were consumed. It promised a sequel, but it never came to fruition.
Fast forward to 2008. One of the original builders of Chex Quest makes and releases the third episode. My childhood hopes are fulfilled.

Is there anyone else that shares my enthusiasm?
PS: I found it amusing that there was a person named Lucius on the Chex Quest fan forums. One old 2.5 FPS ain't good enough for ya?

I never even knew about this until it was brought up in the OCRemix topic for their new Doom 2 remix album and it slipped my mind. I might give it a go at one point.

I hear ya. I remember going out of town to visit family on occasion, and this game was on their computer. I played it over and over each time and loved it, and I will love this.

That was everything that Chex® Quest should have been (and then some). It finally reveals a larger cluster of the Doom enemy behaviors – explosive "barrels" exist in E3M5, as well as the equivalents of lost souls. There are so many types of monsters (bosses included) that it's hard to remember them all off the top my head.
Great levels and layout, lots of artwork, and original and catchy music went into this. I felt it just screamed of Dark Forces level-design inspiration as I was playing it. (Was that a sloped floor just past the yellow door in the last level?) All in all, an excellent third episode that easily does the other two justice. I highly recommend it.

The game uses the ZDOOM engine, which support slopes.
