about

These are the tracks from ChexQuest HD, available to play free on Steam.

The level tracks (e.g., E1M1 Landing) are from my original MIDI files from the 1997 Chex Quest game that was included as a free giveaway on CD-ROM in millions of boxes of Chex Cereal.

When composing the original soundtrack, I used the worst sound card I could find to generate the sounds, thinking that people who played the game in 1997 would have a wide variety of systems and I wanted to make sure it sounded good for everyone. I didn't add anything for the re-mastering and tried to find sounds that fit the original. I did remove some instruments that I felt didn't add to the overall track.

Since 1997, I have been writing synthwave music and have used one of my favorite new tracks for CQHD Credits.

Thanks to the Chex Quest fan community for supporting this crazy game. When we worked on Chex Quest in 1996, it was just another project for my employer, Digital Cafe. We had no idea that people were playing it, let alone loving it. For many, it was their first FPS game. I feel honored to be a small part of that experience. I apologize to those who have the soundtrack forever printed in your minds. I know it's a little out there. It results from unencumbered creativity and a short timeline.

Best,

Andrew
