Jaime Villacorte's notes

Jaime Villacourt's notes are a series of notes written in 1990 by Jaime Villacourt about the Lynx version of Chip's Challenge. It contains all the passwords, tips for most of the levels, and many helpful diagrams. It has been speculated that these notes were used in the creation of the Microsoft version of Chip's Challenge, as the game and the notes share similar errors from the original Lynx version.

Errors

These notes contain a handful of errors which may explain why the MS version differs from the Lynx version in terms of passwords and Decade Messages.

The Lynx version contained decade messages after completing levels 10 (Brushfire), 20 (Tossed Salad), 30 (Mishmesh), and 40 (Floorgasborg). Jaime's notes exclude these four messages, but do include the rest. The same goes for MSCC.

Also, the notes contain four password errors, all of which were copied to the MS game. In version 1.01 of the document, the Paranoia password was fixed, however, the MS game still retains it.

#	Title	Lynx password	MS password
6	Lesson 6	WNLP	WNLD
10	Brushfire	VUWS	UVWS
28	Ping Pong	UJDD	UJDO
96	Paranoia	WVHY	BIFQ

Interestingly, the notes also contain many errors dealing with the level titles. None of these errors are present in the MS game.
