Chip's Challenge has a curious legacy; it remains nostalgic for a number of people, but very few of them ever played the original game.  It remains vastly better known by the first [[MSCC|Windows port]], which altered a number of rules, sometimes radically.

A sequel, [[Chip's Challenge 2]], was completed in the early 00's, but couldn't be released due to licensing issues.  It finally saw the light of day in 2015, when it was released on Steam alongside a new port of the original Chip's Challenge.
