It is a <a href="/facts/Total_conversion_modification/Keze0GUe">total conversion</a> of the more explicitly violent video game <a href="/facts/Doom_(1993_video_game)/KA6n0GoY">Doom</a> (specifically <a href="/facts/The_Ultimate_Doom/KA6n0GoY">The Ultimate Doom</a> version of the game). Chex Quest won both a Golden EFFIE Award for Advertising Effectiveness and Golden Reggie Award for Promotional Achievement in 1998, and it is known today for having been the first video game ever to be included in <a href="/facts/Cereal_box_prize/TNLQGSug">cereal boxes as a prize</a>. The game's cult following has been described by the press as being composed of unusually devoted fans of an advertising vehicle from a bygone age.
