+'''Spirals''' is the 88th level in [[Chip's Challenge 1]]. One of the most notorious "[[glitch]]es" in Chip's Challenge occurs in some versions of Spirals, known as the [[Spirals corruption]], which is actually an incomplete [[#Version differences|version difference]].
-'''Spirals''' is the 88th level in [[Chip's Challenge 1]]. One of the most notorious [[glitch]]es in Chip's Challenge occurs in some versions of Spirals: the [[Spirals corruption]], which has instead of floor at [[grid]] coordinate [29, 13], a [[thin wall]] east, making the level infinitely harder and at a full 5 rating. The source of this is the original [[Lynx]] version, which was changed to the official version in the Commodore 64 and eventually the [[MS Ruleset|MS ]] version because [[walker]] behavior is different. However, some copies never got the change. For more information and how to complete this version, read the page on the corruption. If a player's version contains the corruption, they can simply use a [[level editor]] to change the offending grid coordinate to floor.
+Spirals can be completed in the bold time by walking the paths through the spirals, which are almost totally one path; the only intersections are the chips. From each chip, turn 2D L R 2D 2L U L 2D and L off the chip to return to the exit. In this version, Chip can almost ''never'' be caught by the walkers.

+Due to a change in [[walker]] behavior, this level became vastly more difficult in the [[MSCC|Microsoft port]]; to compensate, a thin wall was changed to a floor at (29, 13).  However, some copies of the game shipped with the original Lynx level, and the difference was so staggering that the original level layout was believed to somehow be a mistake, known as "[[Spirals corruption]]".  If a player's version contains the corruption, they can simply use a [[level editor]] to change the offending grid coordinate to floor.

+This is the [[MSCC]] version of the level.  The missing wall is fairly distinct and can be seen just north of the exit.
