  • Chip's Challenge is now completely free on Steam - 22 September 2020

    If you had access to a PC in the 90s, you probably played Chip's Challenge. The puzzle game was included in a number of Microsoft Entertainment Pack bundles that were often included with early versions of Windows, and is thus burned into the collective memories of a whole generation of gamers. Now you can stoke the fires of nostalgia on Steam, where Chip's Challenge is now completely free. You can head to Steam and download Chip's Challenge right now. This is the full original game from designer Chuck Sommerville, with 144 puzzles to complete. This is the port that launched in 2015 alongside Chip's Challenge 2 (another set of 200 levels available for $4.99 / £3.99 / €3.99), lightly updated to run on modern machines. Chip's Challenge originally launched way back in 1989 for the launch of the Atari Lynx, but it's the later Windows release where Chip's Challenge burned its way into most of…

  • Have You Played Chip s Challenge? - 10 October 2018

    Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Allow me to tell you about the greatest test of logic ever devised. Originally conceived for the Atari Lynx (of all things), Chip s Challenge found popularity when it was bundled with Microsoft Entertainment Packs for use with Windows 3.1. If you remember any of this, then you probably have fond memories of Chip. Both it and the sequel (more on that below) are on Steam for a price that s less than your lunch. (more…)

Theme Win Music & SFX 2. Conveyor Belt Animation Off / On 3. Previous Level (Function F7) It’s all been possible as we finally found a solution to the Microsoft immovable object vs. the Valve unstoppable force problem. Basically a config file needed to be set a specific way, but the knowledge of how and why was lost over 10 years ago.

  • Chuck’s Challenge 3D - 30 May 2015

    Time is a funny thing. Chuck’s Challenge 3D was released first on Steam, but Chip’s Challenge 1 & 2 were created beforehand, but due to rights holder ‘fun’ Chip’s Challenge 2 was blocked from being released for 20 years. So which game is older Chuck’s Challenge 3D or Chip’s Challenge 2? Want to see what happens if you take the design team from Chip’s Challenge and then mix it with modern day engines and game design? The resulting game is Chuck’s Challenge 3D, which is 75% off this weekend to celebrate the release of Chip’s Challenge 1 & 2 on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/262590

About this game

Before Chip can join the Bit Busters computer club and hang out with the girl of his dreams, Melinda the Mental Marvel, he must solve all 144 challenging puzzles.

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Chip's Challenge 1's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Chip's Challenge 1's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Chip's Challenge 1 at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
