Chip's Challenge was originally released for the Lynx. I've thought that that may make for an interesting TAS.

Chip's Challenge is good - most of the records have been done in real time, but there are a few that require ridiculous levels of luck manipulation that could only be achieved in a TAS. http://chipschallenge.wikia.com/wiki/Bold_time - fastest achieved time on windows version http://chipschallenge.wikia.com/wiki/Melinda_time - fastest possible time on windows version http://chipschallenge.wikia.com/wiki/Lynx - take note of this if you TAS the lynx version! The windows version has many differences in its rules compared to Lynx and thus not all windows solutions will work the same. You can use Tile World to mess around with the lynx and windows versions and get a feel for how they differ. Also, this is awesome, but only possible on Windows again: http://chipschallenge.wikia.com/wiki/The_most_insane_level_ever! Check out the video solution. :D

I've played Chip's Challenge but only the Windows version of it. http://www.telusplanet.net/public/nfield/ChipChallenge/chip.htm - This one gets you a ton of information, from beating levels in the fastest methods to an excellent website with animated solutions (really AVI files packed to really low size), extremely recommended to use it if you plan on TASing the game. It is about the Windows version, but there aren't many differences to that of the Lynx (Spirals, level 88, has both windows and lynx solutions since Windows's version is "corrupt"), so I believe you can use it.

http://www.telusplanet.net/public/nfield/ChipChallenge/fractal.htm This should be done at the very end of the run. :)

I don't know if anyone has realized that there is a DOS version of this game with almost exactly the same "rules" as the Windows version. Since DOS TASing is now possible I would recommend that version over the Lynx. http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/chips-challenge

Since this is an Atari Lynx game, could someone please move this to the Atari Games subforum?
