MODERATORS
I remember playing this. Was fun.
However, we were pleasantly surprised at how good it was and played it a ton.
That's because it's a licensed mod of Doom. Literally, the first level was just the first level of Doom reskinned. I replayed it a few years back, along with 2 and 3 (3 includes a remaster of 1 & 2), and it holds up pretty well.
Well, it makes sense then that we used to describe it as being a “Doom-like” game lol.
Found it for you:

apparently, there are two sequels of this doom conversion!
You’re a saint.
Why is a velociraptor trying to teach kids how to shoot guns???
No no no no!!!! This has "Jurassic Park 4" written all over it!!! The abandoned movie script that never got made that you can still read online would have come out around 2004, and featured dinosaurs learning how to shoot guns and speak english, and form a military to fight the U.S. military.
So glad THAT movie never got made....
Where is a velociraptor trying to teach kids how to shoot guns?! I don't know what you're talking about, I'm a perfectly common human being!
nervous ~~velociraptor~~ human noises
Yep yep, others have already chimed in with relevant info, but yeah, got this in a damn cereal box as a kid, found this to be an actually pretty damn good game, at least for the early/mid 90s.
Its not got as many different enemy or weapons as DOOM, but it does have a good number of levels, especially for... being completely free.
Great game. It can be easily get to hold of and the makers made two new episodes for it. The wad file is chex3.wad which has the original and the new two episodes
Can I just say I love your username
This didn't run on my computer and I wanted to play it so bad!
Chex Quest HD is available on Steam, I think it's free.
Thanks for the heads-up! Looks like the graphics are quite different. I'll still give it a shot though.
Man, that game was a blast!
There were some great free games back then that came in cereal or some other give away. Chex Quest, Toy Story, Bionicle, Back Yard Baseball, Spot (7up), Roller Coaster Tycoon, and a bunch of just board game remakes. A big chunk of my childhood gaming was on free games now that im thinking about it.
