While I'm writing to say I've enjoyed the level design and music... I am very stuck! I am facing the mega giant wall and I keep running out of ammo... I'm doing my best to conserve my zorchers for the wall, but even when I ignore everything around me and dump all my rockets and zorchers at it, I still end up with my knife and no way out. My first thought was that it was a time battle, but that would seem to easy because he only spawns 2 at a time, so getting rid of the lesser flemoids is not difficult. Am I missing something or is it a skill issue haha?

Glad you enjoyed it! You need to shoot propulsor missiles up its nose, but there will only be an opening to do this right after it attacks.

Is it specifically only when he does the triple slimeball attack, not when he spawns the extra baddies? Do I need to be under him in the slime pit to do this? I tried looking for a video playthru but could not find one. I'll keep attacking it tonight and will report back to my progress later

It's open to attack after it spawns more flemoids. You'll be able to tell when because it'll raise its nose for a bit.

Thanks for all the help! I did manage to defeat it. The zorch animation for a hit confirm was more solid if I went for the shot after the slimeball attack as opposed to the spawn animation. Was more careful and precise with my shots and did land enough to zorch it away! Super awesome!

I can definitely recommend Flemmed to the Core, which can be played either through the original GZDoom version or a later port to vanilla Doom (and therefore basically all source ports).

I rather enjoyed Nitro's Chex Quest as well, even if I encountered a few progression issues towards the end of Nitro's Chex Quest 2.

I also played DBP42: Slime on Earth, which is a Doom II total conversion with Chex Quest assets, but given your earlier post you would probably agree with me about it being too slaughtery.

I was planning to play Chex Quest: The Penultimate Breakfast, but I decided to take a break from Chex Quest for awhile before tackling that one.

I will take The Lost Quest under consideration for later too. Chex Quest: Bazoik Revisited has released recently, but I have not played it yet.

As for the level design of the bootleg Chex Quest 3, given they were lifted all from a trilogy of 1994 Doom WADs they are about as good as could be hoped for really.

Thanks for getting back to me, even if the question remains. MobyGames mentions a 1998 release date, as did Home of the Underdogs. Not that the latter is a great source given it claims incorrectly it was actually a Digital Cafe beta (something MobyGames makes a point to debunk). Several YouTube videos also cite a 1998 release date, but it could all be circular sourcing.

What I recall from old posts before I joined in 2007 was that its origins were a mystery even then. The person who may know the most about it would be Richie, the forum's creator and owner. He's not too active, so you'd probably get a better answer by directly messaging him. He might be active on the chex quest's discord as well, although I'm not on that so I'm only assuming. You can find a link to it at the bottom of this forum's main page.

Edit: It seems this forum no longer has private messaging. Not too sure how to contact him if he's not on discord. :/

I think that's about the full history.  I am also uncertain where bootleg CQ3 came from.  It sort of came out of nowhere.

Thank you so much for the response! I will be joining that discord right after I finish this post!
I did manage to figure out some of the zdoom stuff you mentioned, but still having that error. I will look at older versions of the launcher, maybe that will help.

I should admit that I have played the official episode 3, "Invasion!", and that's how I was launching most of these mods, haha! But thank you!

I have played New Maps and Nitro, both were a lot of fun! My favorite mod by far, is The Lost Quest. The upgrade flemoids really proposed a solid challenge, and while some of the jump maneuvering was tricky for me, I still fell in love with the simple puzzles. So much creativity with level design! I had to leave a post to tell Arch not just how I was impressed, but he'll never know how truly splendid it was for me to rekindle my love for this silly game!

I just wanted to write here and say that TLQ is probably the best standalone chex quest mod out there. Amazing homage to Chex Quest. You also gave it a lot of new flare, playability, and difficulty! Incredible work. No matter what happens with future endeavors on this project, I really just had to let you know how much your passion for this shines like the sun. Words can't express my gratitude for what you've done.

Thank you.
