PC Games: Chex Quest (DOOM engine)
0I figure pretty much everyone has heard of the original DOOM, so here's a complete conversion that demonstrates just how extensively the game could be modded. Chex Quest was given away on CDs that came in boxes of Chex cereal, probably the first video game ever distributed in such a way.
It's DOOM, and yet it's not. The graphics, sounds, enemies, music, levels, and even cheat codes have all been replaced, and all blood and gore has been removed. At the heart of it, though, it's still the same familiar DOOM engine, with the same functionality, and all of the engine's usual improvements over previous FPS engines and limitations as compared to later ones. DOOM supports non-orthogonal walls of arbitrary length (which it makes sure to show off at every opportunity), for example, unlike Wolfenstein 3D's mapping system that was based on square tiles. But it can't do things like stacking rooms on top of each other or having surfaces that aren't either perfectly flat or straight up and down.
Also, it turns out my source for the cheat codes had some of them mixed up. mikekoenigs is the idfa cheat (all weapons and full ammo); the idkfa cheat that I thought I was using (keys, weapons, and ammo) is scottholman. Other Chex Quest cheats include davidbrus for iddqd (god mode), sherrill for iddt (full map), and charlesjacobi for idspispopd (no clipping).
Anyway, there's just something about a... breakfast marine?... fighting (literally) slimy aliens, using a giant piece of Chex as armor, collecting healthy food as powerups, and wielding weapons that include a motorized spork!
Chex Quest proved popular enough in a certain niche to have sequels. And there's even a (free) multiplayer HD remake now! More information here: https://www.chexmix.com/chexquest/
