Chip's Challenge [lynx/windows] Review - Ludi antiqui shortcuts - Subtitulado en español

What's up, guys? I'm Dafe, and this is a Ludi Antiqui Shortcut. Today I'm going to be talking a little bit about Chip's Challenge. Chip's Challenge was developed by Epyx and originally published by Atari in 1989 as a release title for their Lynx handheld system. You play as Chip McCallahan, a High School nerd with a dream of joining the Bit Busters Club and taking club president Melinda the Mental Marvel to the E-Prom. The only thing that stands in his way is a 144-level clubhouse filled with devious traps, puzzles, and monsters. Should Chip complete this challenge, he'll receive both the club membership and date that he's looking for! Chip's Challenge is a fantastic puzzler that will have you alternatingly celebrating in triumph and ripping your hair out in frustration. The goal of each level is quite simple: collect any computer chips that are lying on the ground and make your way to the exit. Of course you're going to run into various obstacles along the way— locked doors, environmental hazards, invisible walls, bear traps, and genetic experiments gone horribly awry! Luckily you'll be able to collect keys and tools to help you along your way, and a set of tutorial levels at the beginning of the game will help you to gradually learn the ropes before thrusting you into the wide world of the clubhouse. Though technologically advanced, the Lynx cost twice as much as a Nintendo Game Boy upon release and only sold some 500,000 units, so you most likely come upon Chip's Challenge, as I did, when it was ported to Windows and sold as part of a Windows Entertainment Pack. The game carried over all 144 standard levels, the four bonus levels, and added an additional credits level. The resolution was increased but for some reason animation was removed from the tiles, which gives Chip's Challenge for Windows a somewhat sterile appearance. Though Chip's Challenge is no longer sold, the strong fan community has created many new level sets and released a game called Tile World which almost exactly emulates the gameplay of both the Lynx and Windows versions of Chip's Challenge that can be used to play them. What's more, the original designer and programmer of Chip's Challenge, Chuck Sommerville, has released a spiritual sequel to the game called Chuck's Challenge for iOS and has a 3D version of Chuck's Challenge currently in development for PC, Mac, and NVIDIA Shield. As usual, I've posted links to all these things in the description below. If you've enjoyed this episode, watch some of my other gaming videos, and don't forget to subscribe!
