Added lowercase letters, which look pretty snazzy. :D Also added is vertical per-pixel scrolling, so Chip can actually be in the center of the play area (you can see half of the top and bottom rows). There were also bug fixes under the hood. On another note, I've played through 147 of the 149 levels.

Does best times takes a lot of space on calc? I notice there seems to be about 40 per levels, which makes it 150x40?

Oh, the Best Times menu shows the times for every level, not just the level you're on. One time is kept per level, and each time is two bytes, so it's only about 149x2 bytes.

Also, I updated the graphics for the teeth monster (which used to look oddly like PacMan):

You have just won the internet, good sir! I love Chip's Challenge and I'm glad I can finally play it again and on a portable scale at that!
Good job, calc84maniac, good job. I tip my hat to you :)

Okay, I just came up with an overview which could be used in the Ticalc description and the Readme. Any suggestions for improvement are appreciated!

Code: [Select]
  Chip's Challenge for TI-83+ is a clone of the famous puzzle game
  of the same name on the Atari Lynx and PC. This is the first
  game for the TI-83+ to have 8-level greyscale graphics! Included
  are all 149 levels from the PC version of the game. But enough
  about that - perhaps you're wondering what this game is all about.
  "Nerdy" Chip McCallahan is trying to join an exclusive computer
  club called the Bit Busters, but first he must pass the initiation.
  Chip has to find his way through a magical clubhouse, which is full
  of obstacles and tools like teleporters, invisible walls, pushable
  blocks, force floors, water traps, locked doors, and plenty of
  monsters. This game will supply hours and hours of nasty puzzle fun!

Yes, except for an unfinished one on the TI-89. I think I might add something about that to the description.

Nice, btw I searched ticalc and could only find one clone of Chips Challenge that wasn't another game (renamed) and it was the one you linked to. So it's really a first for z80 calcs
