			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Welcome to Old Games That Don’t Suck Thursday.  Each week I’ll write about a game that somehow influenced by life as a game developer and which I can totally recommend to you because the game is flippin’ sweet.  It also has to be old or at least forgotten about until recently.</em></p>
<p> <object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/qzdS-wgPYWE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qzdS-wgPYWE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>Chex Quest came out when I was in Middle School.  It&#8217;s a DOS/Win95 game that is an obvious dress up of the Doom code with Chex cereal characters.  Your character is a Chex square who fights the &#8220;Flemoid&#8221; aliens (a pun of phlegm, note there) and tries to get through every area in good health.  A variety of non-violent weapons aide you in taking out enemies and finding keys to open up new areas.  </p>
<p>The game was fairly straightforward but then again it was one of the first First-person shooters I ever played.  It came in a box of Chex for free so it was easily accessible.  It was also a very kid-friendly FPS in a time when most FPS shooters were being shunned by parents.  The most violent weapon in the game was a spork, and I am still fairly sure it&#8217;s the only game that has this utensil as a weapon.</p>
<p>If you can dig up a copy of this game it&#8217;s great for a good laugh and a fun game by ID software that is rarely played these days.  It&#8217;s also one of the only really, really good advergames you&#8217;ll ever play so go at it.</p>
<p>Also you apparently get 50 free hours of AOL with your install.  NICE!</p>
