The Quest featured three cartoon characters that were teleported into an environment in which you were able to "play". There was one room in the game that allowed you to watch certain clips of Warner Bros. cartoons. One was the "Countries of the World" song from Animaniacs, and the other was an interactive episode of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Players were able to ask questions to Space Ghost like what his favorite foods were. He would respond with "Tacos... fajitas... chimichangas... quesadillas..." and you were also allowed to ask him what he thought of other people's affairs, making him respond with, "The Fair?! I love the fair! etc." There were different areas to go to, like a backgammon room where you play against Ramses (an Egyptian pharaoh), and another was of a Scholastic book about a girl's diary of when she grew up in Bosnia, Europe. The animation of this game had slapstick humor and had an animation style similar to Space Goofs, The Brother's Grunt, etc.
