The PAL version of the port has a few additional issues. [[Thief|Thieves]] steal [[key]]s in addition to [[boot]]s, which renders [[All Full]] unsolvable. Additionally, level 122, [[Totally Fair]], is missing and replaced with level 131, [[Totally Unfair]]. The level order otherwise matches the original Lynx game (citation needed).

== Amiga & Atari ST ==
The Amiga and Atari ST rulesets are nearly identical (notable exceptions being that ST runs at 6 moves per second verses Amiga and other's 5, and ST having fast teeth). Blobs move at full speed except in [[Blobnet]], and block cloners are sometimes glitchy (easiest to see in [[Tossed Salad]] and [[On The Rocks]]). [[Monster Lab]] is actually [[Colony]] rotated 180 degrees, likewise [[Three Doors]] is [[Goldkey]] rotated 180 degrees. Much like the C64 version, and any PAL version handled by U.S. Gold, thieves steal keys and boots.
Interestingly, the game contains a cheat code system, if the player presses the f key during game play, the game will flip upside down, display the message:
"MY HAND-HELD CAN
DO THIS AS WELL!
HI TO RUTH, FLU,
BUFF, EMMA, JESS,
TIM, BEN, ADAM,
PIPPA, IVAN, SCAMP,
WORM, CHRIS, JUDE,
AND DARLING TESSA."
and then allow the player to enter a message.

| "SAGITTARIANS MAKE BETTER LOVERS." || Unlimited [[key|keys]] and [[item|items]] that can't be removed

These effects persist through level completion and death. The only way to remove them is to exit to the main menu.

== Evercade ==
The Evercade released on May 22, 2020. It is a handheld focused on physical rereleases of retro games for prior systems via emulation, and as such, Chip's Challenge is identical to the Lynx original, as it's merely an emulated version of said game.
== Nintendo Switch ==
The Nintendo Switch port of Chip's Challenge, like the port released on the Evercade, is again an emulation of the Lynx original, and, as such, is identical. However, there is also a unique menu that allows the player to save and load up to four save states at anytime, as well as access the game's manual, change their controls to a left-handed control scheme, and apply three different filters: an antialiasing filter, CRT scanlines, or an LCD grid.
