Wow throwback, loved that game.

  Yeah... Searching for that game led me back to Chip's Challenge, ended up buying the game ($2), grabbing the level file out of it, and throwing that into TileWorld (cross platform CC engine) to play on my mac. Nostalgia overload.

    Good lord, Chip's Challenge? I haven't heard that name in 25 years. It was installed on the first home PC my family had. Windows 3.11. Played the hell out of it back in the day.

This style of gameplay goes all the way back to Qix from 1981: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qix

  Wow, never heard of this game (unsurprising as it came out a decade before I was born). I was able to play it here [0]. Arrows to move, spacebar to be able to leave the edge. Very cool!

    That link is to an emulation of an MS-DOS port of the original arcade. You can play the emulated original stand-up arcade game here: https://archive.org/details/arcade_qix https://archive.org/details/arcade_qix Press F3 to choose language, then use 5 to insert coins, 1 to start 1 player game. Use cursor keys to move along existing lines, use Ctrl+cursor keys to draw fast, use Alt+cursor keys to draw slowly.

      Good catch! Thank you for posting this. It's really crazy to be playing games I played when I was a kid (Not this game but other MS-DOS or Arcade games) in the freaking browser...
