Reply to comment by tripping_on_phonics in TIL that in 1983, Purina's Chuck Wagon dog food was given a promotional video game for the Atari 2600 called "Chase the Chuck Wagon". It could only be received by proof of purchase labels and is considered the "Holy Grail" of Atari 2600 video game collecting. by ZootyCutie

Fun fact, in a specific way, that game's related to the merchandising company of this one. Purina was once Ralston Purina, with a cereal branch. And Chex was one of the cereals that branch made. Seems Chex Quest was released right before General Mills bought the Ralston side of the company, game was 1996, buyout was 1997.

That’s a crazy connection! I loved check quest. I think it was from the same makers or engine as wolfenstein or doom?
