wow chex quest EM1 doom style

[Atariangamer]

o_O Uh, Slimeinator? I think that way too, but Chex Quest is always first. Doom gets boring sometimes after playing for an hour...while Chex Quest has great mods that make it better, harder, longer, faster. I like that...plus we usually need only one source port...Doom needs Legacy, ZDooM, GZDooM, BOOM, EDGE, and many others...too big.

chex quest was an awsome idea it probly made a lot of people buy chex because you know back then it was like doom3 graphics

[Atariangamer]

Well, the real reason chex quest was created was to boost sales of chex cereal. Also, the DooM engine was getting a slight bit older (with quake on the way), and the game was based off of the engine. But there was nothing to compare the graphics to, so it was more like a new spin on an old trick...or something.

[Lucius]

And it worked too!

[Josh]

well the reson they used doom is because the quake engine was not open source yet

[Manny Cav]

I don't think the Doom engine was open source at that time, either.

[Atariangamer]

Nope, it wasn't...it went OpenSource soon after, though. About middle of '96, I think. CQ came just at the end of '95.

(I think...)

As I understand, the Doom source code was released in December 23, 2007, while Chex Quest was developed during 1996, I believe, with a 1997 release date.

Um, earlier than that. Much earlier.

[Manny Cav]

I deserve to be hung for that. I meant to say December 23, 1997.

[Atariangamer]

LOL! I was about to say, "boom, legacy, and others have been around much longer than 2007!"

Well, there's a question. How come we haven't tried to make a Quake mod yet? There are tons of mapping oppertunities, and if you make a flat model, you can still make it look like its a sprite (for enemies, which is the main shut down for 3d ports...no one can make a cartoony looking flemoid MD2)

[Josh]

i allways thoght a chex quest online made with quake 3 arena would be cool

[Atariangamer]

Now thats taking it a little too far. It would be easy to make some simple models and skins, then have some textures and make maps. But with Quake 3 (and for that point, most shooters past 2001), it would take years to totally redo the game stuff to make it CQ. I've messed a bit with original Quake, and it would be the next logical step (in my view)

[Josh]

yeah we would have to get 100s of people to help make it

[Replica]

Not exactly, Doom 3 didn't take half of 100 people to create.
