It started when a YouTube member by the name of "screamingflemoids" commented on the Chex Quest Ending video that I uploaded. We got on to talking about how cool it would be if the music used in the intro and ending videos, particularly, the ending fanfare, were released. Then, I decided to see if it was possible to track down whoever might have used the music and still has it. Andrew Benson would probably be a logical first target on this issue, but some of the other creators, Digital Caf

Hmm...I'd say go for it! It really would be cool to have, and if Andrew Benson came to the community, i'd say it'd be good.

Music is one of my hobbies.  Listening, playing, creating, it all owns.

Getting that music would be awesome!

I sent him the email and got a reply.

Hey [real name],

I love the idea of releasing the music from the intro and ending videos. You're right -- the trick would be to actually find the original files. If anyone has them, it would be me, but unfortunately most of the originals for CQ are long gone. There is a very slim chance that I have them on a backup somewhere, and if so, you are more than welcome to them.

I will take a look, but it is going to take me some time. I'm in the process of setting up a new studio and the backups where I would look are in storage. If you haven't heard from me in a month or two, check in and we'll see if I've had any luck.

Cheers,
Now we're basically in a waiting game.

LOL CC!!!

But thats awesome that he answered...mebe we need to do that more. Email DC members, that is...

You never know, one of the lead programers might have the CQ code! (i doubt it, tho)

And I love CQ's music, so this will be awesome...

*Makes a mental note to say [real name] next time he's in a match with Manny...*

I wonder what else we can bug the original staff into looking for...

Theres the list, go get 'em! lol

For the source code, Scott Holman would probably have it...then again, he might not.
Joel Koenigs might have it too...

But really, Charles Jacobi is here, Scott Holman and Joel Koenigs have addresses, Andrew Benson is talking and searching...And all the other ones (with emails) dont really hold much value to chexquest...

Did we really just spend the last decade talking about Chex Quest? Yes. Yes we did.

I regret nothing!
