Personal review

Chip's Challenge is a clever puzzle game with good playability, interesting gameplay elements and a plethora of tricky levels. The aim of the game is to reach the exit door of each level. To reach the door you have to use tools to eliminate obstacles, find keys to open doors, avoid some nasty "bugs" and use switches to turn on/off machinery, teleporters and so on. One of the best early Lynx games.

Official description

Chip desperately wants to join gorgeous Melinda's exclusive Bit Busters Computer Club, and he's ecstatic when she offers him membership! But there's a catch - before Chip can become a card-carrying Bit Buster, he must complete Melinda's challenge. Over 140 levels of fun and fast puzzling action!
