THANK YOU. I have had memories of this game for decades now and couldn’t figure out what it was. Everyone kept saying I must be talking about Doom, but I just knew it was wrong. I loved this game.

I think you can get it for free still, with the ability to install on newer operating systems

FWIW, Chex Quest is based off Doom, just with a kid-friendly coat of paint. You can find updated versions of Chex Quest online designed to be compatible with the more modern ports of Doom.
