But that's only the beginning, as he then has to evade the monsters guarding the external area of the level so he can reach the exit safely. Chip is trapped within a prison-like chamber and has to use the surrounding elements to lure the patrolling monsters into the buttons that will free him.

The Alcatraz: Level 124 ( The Prisoner) uses this as the main concept.

Chip's Challenge 2 ends with the declaration that the challenge is completed, and Chip and Melinda are 'true puzzle masters!' then provides you with your total score.

In the Steam version, the game ends with 'Great job, Chip! You finished the challenge! Now you can take Melinda the Mental Marvel to the Bit Busters E-Prom!' and your total score once you complete level 149.

Completing level 144 or 149 of the Lynx Chip's Challenge 1 shows Melinda standing over Chip at his computer and them dancing at the E-Prom.

It was finally released on Steam in May 2015. A sequel was produced, adding numerous gameplay elements, but due to legal issues remained unreleased for over 15 years. The gameplay involves Chip moving about a number of tile-based 2D levels involving things like cloning machines, ice and force floor puzzles, and various monsters, attempting to finish a level before the time limit runs out. It involves the eponymous hero, Chip McCallahan, who has met Melinda the Mental Marvel in the school science laboratory and must navigate through Melinda's 'Clubhouse' (a series of 149 increasingly difficult puzzles) in order to prove himself and gain membership to the very exclusive Bit Buster Club. Chip's Challenge is a game originally created by Chuck Sommerville of Epyx for the Atari Lynx but later ported to various platforms, most notably Microsoft Windows via Microsoft Entertainment Pack 4 and Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack (there were also plans for a Nintendo Entertainment System version, but they were dropped).
