However, I don't think much of particular interest happened on Thursday. There was the speech I gave in Public Speaking Class. It wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, but the teacher liked it. He said I needed to work on "transitions." I need to figure that out.
Old Game Review time!
Today, I review the spiffy spinoff marketting tie-in, Chex Quest.
Chex Quest is basically just Doom with all the Hell replaced with alien Chex world, the demos replaced with phlegmy aliens, and your weapons replaced with various Chex-firing devices. If memory serves, I think that the health pickups and powerups were also Chex in some form or another.
Chex Quest came inside a cereal box for a while. I'd have to say that it is the best marketting tie-in ever. They licensed the Doom engine and made a new game with it. The new game is really exactly the same as the old one, but that doesn't really bother me.
Doom was a fun and actiony game, that isn't much by today's standards, but there is something tremendously fun about running around with a small 2D weapon in a 3D world shooting 2D aliens or demons. Its totally stupid, but it is definitely fun.
