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 know what you're thinking. No, I don't like peanut butter.

If I had to choose between the real world or the Chex Quest Fan forums; I'd choose the Chex Quest fan forums.

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?

I just played CQ1 on dosbox. No. No changed names. I checked the read this.
Still looking at my maps every now and then...

GameMaster

most likely he's remembering it wrong.

ChexCommander

Hm, maybe I was playing CQ3 too much....I'll check later...

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!".

They're talking about the zorchers thing in the shell, not in the game.
