I remember being totally engulfed...
...mezmorized
...tired
...annoyed
...frustrated
...angry
...furious
Then i'd close the program
Then i'd want to open it again and play the level cause i thot just maybe i'd be able to beat it.
Anyone remember that good ol' game?
I haven't seen many games like it since (RoX comes close). |

Whatever. Who knows... |

| It sounds very vaguely familiar, but I have no idea about it... What kind of game was it? |

You were this kid named Chip and you went around an interal-computer-like word trying to get all the chips (computer chips, that is). I think there were levels where you were timed. Obviously there were things to keep you from getting all the chips so you had to push buttons and things to get places.
It was a top-view 2D game and there were at least 100 levels. It came with Windows 95 I think. |

| I think that was part of a 16 bit windows game pack. |

Yes it came with a game pack, that incuded genome, majohng, ski slope, and golf, and a few others...
I remember first playing it and thinking how corny it was, because when chip moved he would move one whole tile, with no animation what so ever... but I didn't realize how much time went by and I was on level 30... It was truly an addictive game, and your right, nothing has come close to it since... even Rox which is a great game, has to get back seat to it... It shows that a game doesn't have to be graphically stunning to be fun... I lost it with my old laptop, and I have been looking for it since...
Great game... but really became hard later on, I mean the levels where almost impassible...

Did you Google it? Here's what I found:
http://www.freewebs.com/chipshome/chips.html
Not sure whether that's the same game or not, I've never played it before.

I'm a little paranoid about what and where I download, but this is something I might stick my judgement aside for... Thanks...

Good. I'm glad at least a few of you remember it. Definately a good game. Definately a good example of game quality without graphical or audio beautification.
Thanks for the link. I, myself, haven't been searching for it...but it'd be nice to play it. 
P.S. Addictive? Yes. I especially remember some of my friends (years ago) telling me all about how they were on level 100 and their dad was helping them. (I don't know about you, but when a dad gets into a game, that immediately proclaims it as a REALLY good game...because they don't do that often: remember JetPack?...that was another.) |

Whatever. Who knows... |

You read my mind, I was actually thinking of doing just that, kind of a Chips for the newer generation....
But I would still keep it general gdi... or directx7 maybe... any thoughts on that?

I thought about making a suite of all the classic windows games... with updated graphics, and sound.... thought it would be sort of a novelty project..

Maybe I'm just dreaming?  |

| And it isn't. I was talking seriously, I like to do remakes of good old games but in 3D (don't completed at least one tough; but it isn't that hard) |
Whatever. Who knows... |

RANT: Does anyone remember Chip's Challenge?
