'''Chip's Challenge''' is a game by [[Chuck Sommerville]] that was originally released for the [[Lynx Ruleset|Atari Lynx]] in 1989. It was later ported to other platforms, the most well known being the [[MS Ruleset|Windows]] port. The Windows version was originally released in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack in 1992, and later in the Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack. It has remained a popular game ever since. | |||
This game features Chip, who wants to become a member of Melinda's select Bit Busters club, and is tested with a puzzle which he must finish in order to enter. The [[CC1|original]] Chip's Challenge level set has 149 levels, but many others, including the famed [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2]] constructed from selected levels from these sets, were created with [[level editor]]s that were soon created after Chip's Challenge was released. | |||

[[Chip]] is willing to do anything for [[Melinda|Melinda the Mental Marvel]], more than anything, because he wants to join Melinda's exclusive computer club, [[Bit Busters Club|the Bit Busters]] . Finally Melinda has offered him membership, but on one condition! Chip must find his way from one end of Melinda's magical clubhouse to the other, picking up cosmic [[computer chip]]s along the way. | |||

If that sounds easy, then you've never been to Melinda's magical clubhouse. It's awesome inside, but tricky, and a little scary too. There are [[teleport]]s, [[invisible wall]]s, [[force floor]]s, [[water]] traps<!---Do not add a link to [[trap]]; it's spelled this way in the file--->, [[Lock|locked doors]], and plenty of [[monster]]s. There's magic, mystery, and behind the scenes there is Melinda, keeping score on your progress and providing helpful [[hint]]s. | |||

As you succeed in helping Chip move through each level of the clubhouse, Melinda gives you a secret [[password]] that allows you to return. And Melinda rewards perseverance. If she thinks Chip has tried long enough and hard enough on a level (which actually means at least 10 deaths in a row where Chip was alive for at least 10 seconds; this info is not in the text), she'll let him sneak through to the next level. But it takes a lot of perseverance to impress her. How big is the clubhouse? [[Fireflies|144 levels]] is the rumor. But some claim that Melinda is [[Thanks to...|still building]]. In any case, it defies dimensions so don't get lost. | |||
