About this product

Product Information

Nerdy Chip McCallahan was finishing his lunch when Melinda the Mental Marvel sat down next to him. Chip stopped eating, as he harbored a secret crush on Melinda.<br><br>"Chip," said Melinda, "if you beat the challenge you can join our computer club, the Bit Busters."<br><br>Without a second thought, Chip responded, "I'll do it!"<br><br>Chip's Challenge is a 2D overhead view puzzle game in which players must guide Chip through a series of maze levels. All the chips in a level must be collected before Chip can unlock the chip gate and progress to the next level. Help Chip get a date!<br><br>Each level has a unique set of obstacles that Chip must overcome. Fire blocks will burn Chip, bomb blocks will explode, and water will drown the nerdy hero. Magnetic pathways, while not outright Chip-killers, will force the hapless hero to move in a certain path. Fortunately, Chip can protect himself by using tools. Fire and water shields will protect Chip against the natural hazards, boots let him walk on magnetic pathways, and bombs can be made to explode remotely. The puzzles involve collecting and using keys, buttons, blocks and other devices to reach all the chips in each level.

    Fun game!

    This is the third time I’ve bought Chip's Challenge since it came out for the Lynx back in the early ‘90s. Fun and challenging. If you go online you can get a cheat sheet for all the levels. The Lynx carts are well made and virtually indestructible. Worth getting if you are into retrograde gaming. The game is new and unused!

    Surprisingly enjoyable.

    A good puzzle game. It's not Tetris, but it's fun.
