Chip McCallahan in Sonic the Hedgehog is a Sonic 1 hack created by MainMemory. It replaces Sonic the Hedgehog with Chip McCallahan, the main character in Chip's Challenge. Chip can't run fast, roll or jump high, and rings do not protect him from damage. When you die, you will get one of the death messages from Chip's Challenge, and the level will restart with no decrease in your life count.
Version: 1 Last release: 2011-06-20 Status: Inactive Original game: Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit) Credits: MainMemory

Review: Chip’s Challenge
Chip's Challenge originally came out in 1989 for the Atari Lynx, a handheld game console that unsuccessfully tried to compete with the Nintendo Game Boy and Sega Game Gear. Thankfully, it was also ported to other systems, including the fledgling PC market. It was later included in Microsoft Entertainment Pack 4 and Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack, which spread it to a much larger audience and helped it become a cult classic. Much more recently, an upgraded version was released through Steam, and that's what I'm looking at today.
Being a computer user in the early 1990s was exciting. Personal computers were just starting to become feasible for the average family. Yet, their often cryptic nature made them the exclusive territory of the nerds and social misfits of the world. You know the type: these were the pimply faced teens with glasses held together by scotch tape, the proud members of the school's chess club, and the favorite targets of every jock and bully stereotype seen in media.
So when the girl of his dreams gives "nerdy" Chip McCallahan an invite to an exclusive computer club, it's not surprising that he'd do anything to join. In order to prove himself worthy of the club (and the attention of its president, Melinda the Mental Marvel), Chip needs to solve 144 puzzles filled with mazes, monsters, and other traps, which is where you come in.
The gameplay revolves around guiding Chip through these many stages. Each stage requires you to find and collect a given number of computer chips, which will then unlock the exit door. Getting to those chips is the trick though, as you'll need to dodge monsters, solve moving block puzzles, and occasionally find keys and other equipment to help you along. For example, if you don't have the swim fins, Chip will always drown in water.
Of course, part of what makes this game difficult is that you can't see the entire level. With the limited viewpoint, you'll regularly find yourself picking a path and hoping for the best, as there's no indication of which paths are safe (and they often aren't). Fortunately, the only penalty for failure is a lower score, as you can always try again.
This isn't an easy game, not by a long shot, but it's still maintained a fanbase to this day. I'd suggest giving it a go if you want to experience some 1990s-era charm, but I think most of today's kids will find it frustrating or boring rather quickly. On a side note, a spiritual successor, Chuck's Challenge, was recently released and seems to be doing quite well, so you might want to look into it too.

After a mere 6 weeks, I have completed all 200 levels of Chip's Challenge 2! :D I'll have to see how much I can improve my score, but for now, this is where I'm at. :)

Chip's Challenge X Shin Megami Tensei
Using the sprites of Chip and Lucifer from Shin Megami Tensei II, I thought of a crossover where Lucifer takes notice of Chip's mental prowess in solving puzzles. He would like to enlist Chip into his army to fight The Great Will.
A crazy theory for this crossover is that Lucifer has been watching Chip under the disguise of Melinda the Mental Marvel. O.O

I know I’m a couple days late, lol, but in case anyone hasn’t heard the news, after over 20 years of waiting, Chip’s Challenge 2 has finally been released! There’s a bundle on Steam that includes the original and both have upgraded graphics. Man, I loved this game. Can’t beat the classics! :D
