I seem to recall, that in the original chex.exe, when you opened the menu with escape, there would be a selection that said "Read this!" telling you all the controls of the game and such. However, for the zorcher descriptions, instead of Phasing Zorcher, for example, it would say "Ultra-Zorcher." Others included "Super Zorcher" (I believe) and "Hyper-Zorcher." What's up with that?
Those are the Chex Quest 3 zorchers. You seem to be playing Chex Quest 3.
No. Play Chex Quest 1, and look at the names. I believe they are there, in the Read This! section.
Hyperzorcher reminds me of quake.

I did. I just saw the classic names. The only time I see the names you mentioned is in Chex Quest 3. Can you take a screenshot and show me what you see?
must be non-canon
did you download your version of cq1? maybe its hacked
I just played CQ1 on dosbox. No. No changed names. I checked the read this.
most likely he's remembering it wrong.
Hm, maybe I was playing CQ3 too much....I'll check later...

I posted your proof....
He's talking about the game itself, not the Windows 3.1 menu. He mentioned pressing "Esc." to bring up the menu with "READ THIS!".
oh, darn. :(
just open up chocolate chex and see for yourself
They're talking about the zorchers thing in the shell, not in the game.

??? Uh... so... the game is chex.exe, and the shell is menu.exe, right? If that's what you're saying, then since ChexCommander mentioned bringing up the menu with "Esc.", I'm sure that he's talking about the game, and not the menu. I'm still waiting for ChexCommander to report back on what he finds, though.
oops, sorry.
Attached is the CQ3 help screen...along with said zorchers...
