Chex Quest – Bizarre Doom Mod

Just found this odd video of a Doom mod based on an actual game found in Chex cereal way back in 1996.

Chex Quest was a free game that you got with the cereal, it used the doom engine. This is not the game itself but a total conversion made to mimic it.

Warning – NSFW Language. If you’re at work or something, be sure to mute it :)

As if that weren’t enough, they actually made two sequels called Chex Quest 2 and Chex Quest 3. Want more? There is actually a Chex Quest fansite and wiki where you can download the hacks and get your fill of this bizarre Doom based cereal freebie.

Nintendo M82 Demo Unit

I found some interesting information about the M-82 “GAME SELECTABLE WORKING PRODUCT DISPLAY” used for in store displays in the 80s and 90s. What makes the M-82 really special? Well according to nesworld.com, most M82 units were returned to Bergsala to be destroyed when shops stopped selling NES games.

Here’s a pretty decent video I found that shows off its capability. Very cool stuff!
