Is there a way to play chex quest on the XBox? as in the original? not the 360 or the one?

I dunno.

I do not know about XBox, but Ouya recently got a DooM source port called "DooMGLES", meaning Chex Quest can be played as a PWAD. This will mean the flemoids shoot back instead of being melee enemies.

Bsically, if the is a port of DooM for Xbox (and there probably is) you can play Chex Quest.

Hmm...I wonder if CQ on android is possible...CQ for Kindle Fire?

Awesomedude249 · July 21, 2014, 01:28:03 PM

Yeah....I tried it using PRBooM4Android and moved a chex quest pwad into the DooM folder. I tried loading the IWAD, no success.

There's an iOS port that works... I don't see why there wouldn't be a working Android port

Well, in theory maybe. If you modded your firmware, you might be able to run it as a PWAD atop the DooM3 Collector's Edition copy of DooM. However, I don't know if it is possible, I've never seen it done, and I don't recommend it.

Having played a few FPS games on XBox and Ouya now, I find the controlers for those machines very awkward to play with.

I guess after 22 years (starting with Wolfenstein 3D) of playing with a keyboard and mouse, it is very hard to get used to moving around with a couple of thumb sticks.

I can definitely understand that, I've tried playing Doom with a controller, it was extremely awkward compared to the keyboard.

IMO, there are games for controller, and games for keyboard+mouse. In general, FPS' work better with keyboard+mouse simply due to more mobility. However, I am quite ok playing any FPS w/ controller, for the simple reason that I started out on an original Xbox, and so am familiar with playing an FPS with a controller. I still say keyboard+mouse offers more flexibility though

Awesomedude249 · July 23, 2014, 08:36:40 PM

Heh, I've tried mouse, but keyboard is better IMO. My mousd skills are teh suck.

MajorSlime · July 23, 2014, 11:01:08 PM

... Keyboard+Mouse is a combination used together. You don't use one without the other. >_<

noob1234 · July 23, 2014, 11:22:18 PM

You can use a keyboard without the mouse... Not vice versa, though.

Awesomedude249 · July 23, 2014, 11:29:06 PM

I walk, look and shoot with just the mouse sometimes.

noob1234 · July 23, 2014, 11:34:37 PM

Walk with the mouse? What button do you have bound for walk? I mean I guess you could have one of the primary mouse buttons as that, but then you'd have no alt-fire. (Or you could have that as depressing the scroll wheel, which I did when my right-click wasn't working so well... But that's beside the point) Then what do you use for the "use" key, jump, crouch...? And you'd have no ability to backpedal.
