In 1997, Digital Café released a sequel entitled Chex Quest 2, available for free at www.chexquest.com. A year later, some fans of the series put together Chex Quest 3, which mainly contained graphics and levels stolen from other Doom mods, but eventually an official Chex Quest 3 was released. Since its release, Chex Quest has gained a cult following, with some active modders taking the game in new directions. (See Chex Quest PWAD)
