This is a continuation of the walkthrough for Chip's Challenge. Levels 81 (WRITERS BLOCK) through 100 (COLONY) will be discussed on this page.

## Level 81:WRITERS BLOCK

Every block, save nine or so, needs to be pushed into water to get a chip. The only exception is the corners, where two blocks are needed. The hardest part of this is the middle section:
As you can see, this forms the word "THINK". Starting in the west, push the north two blocks into water. Then, push a block in and push the middle of the blocks next to the water into water. It then becomes:
Use the remaining part of the "T" to get six or seven more chips (depends on if you went to a corner). You can also push the block next to the "H" north through the passage that the other block made. The figure becomes:
Push the second block from the north in and the west half of the middle of the "H" south two.
You can now use the west half of the "H". Do so and push the third block from the north west. Use the rest of the "H", except this one block, and go over to the east.
Push the two blocks farthest east into their respective water squares. Do the same with the next four, continuing west.
Push the third block from the north west two. Use the rest of the "K", except this block.
You cannot get the eight blocks that are in the two clumps. Push the second block in and the middle block south. Then, use the block farthest SE. What's left looks like:
You now can utilize the east side of the "N", save the clump of four.
Push the block that sticks out south two, then go around and push it east. Push the block in the middle west two.
You now can use all of the blocks except for the two clumps. These, paired with the two you started with, will give you all of the chips you need. The exit is to the north of this area.

## Level 82:SOCIALIST ACTION

This level is impossible if you don't know where to go. It is easy when you do. Just go 2R 17U 24L 4D L and down to a gravel area. The level is cake from here on out. Go south on the gravel. A teeth monster can easily be killed in the water. Head all the way north to the top and down again to the last row. The teeth monster guarding the finish will come; push the block up and lose him in the bugs. Push it 4 up and go L 2D; wait for him to go left, then go R and D as he is going up. Continue down, right, and up to the exit (the bug has drowned).
Note: You will surely see the area you just got out of. Be thankful that those chaotic bugs and balls are not where you are, and for your 969 seconds.

## Level 83:UP THE BLOCK

Go around the forcefields to get the block. Push it west, then north and east, lining it up with the forcefield. Go east, south, and west into the glider area. Follow the gliders to the center, then go freely straight north. Go around to the forcefield leading to the block and go on it. Push the block all the way east, then all the way south. Go back around and into the glider area. Get through them and go all the way east this time. Go on the forcefield next to the block and push the block all the way west almost into the glider area.
One glider will deflect off the block; push the block left to catch another. Continue until all the gliders are going left. Push the block one square SW of the gravel and watch the gliders blow up!
When all the gliders have blown up bombs, push the block all the way south of the gravel. Only one bomb remains; push the block into it. Go to the west side, then follow one of the gliders north to a couple of chips. Get them and follow the glider back south. Go over all the way to the east, get the two chips there, then go up, getting all of the free chips. Push the block south to the first opening. Catch the second, third, fourth, and fifth gliders on the block. They blow up the bombs to the chips and then open a shortcut back down. Get out of there, get the chips you left behind and wander on back to the exit in the NW corner. You have scored 297 seconds using only blocks!

## Level 84:WARS

Push the block directly west, avoiding the pink balls (one can bounce off of the block). Keep pushing it to a point five squares west of the closest pink ball. Push it north, wait for two bugs to pass by, then push it up one and left one. You are free to take the chips. The exit is to the NW of the former bug area. You have won the war and score 580 seconds as your booty.

## Level 85:TELENET

Go all the way west, south, a little west, and south through the forcefield. Go west and north to get the blue key and south, almost all the way east, north, east and south through the forcefield to get to the blue keyhole.
Go through the blue keyhole and get the chip. Go through each teleport these directions, getting the chip each time: U L L D L D L U D L R R L. Now go right and left through the teleport. Get the red key and go UDUDUDUDUDUDU through the teleports, pausing when necessary to avoid being hit. Timing is CRUCIAL - if you miss the beat, you will miss the top time of 236. Get the last chip and exit the telenet. Go back to the blue keyhole, except go up through the chip socket and exit.

## Level 86:SUICIDE

Go northwest and push the block five squares above the cloner, next to the wall. Press the red button 11 times, watching out for the ball, and go to the bottom. The gliders should be committing suicide on the bombs. Exit the level for 381 seconds.

## Level 87:CITYBLOCK

Go north to the first big room. To get the chip in the SW corner of the room, push the closest block directly NE of the chip south. Press the green button and go to the space open toggle block. Push the two blocks north and west of the spot north and west one square, respectively. Press the green button again. Push the block closest to the chip south and get the chip.
To get the chip on the east side, press the green button once more. Push the closest block directly NW of the chip east. Press the green button again and push the other block directly NW of the chip east. Get the chip. To get the chips on the north wall, push the first and third blocks north, pressing the green button when necessary. Push the middle block to one side and get each chip.
Now you need to use the chips. Open the exit if necessary. Push the first block straight into water. Push the next block to the spot one space to the north of that. Push yet another block north to get the chip and another into the isolated water tile next to the wall.
You can now start to get the chips on the north side. Push the blocks to the north end and keep pushing them west. When you get the chip in the corner, don't push any more blocks to the top row. Fill in the second row - the row of all water, not the third - with more blocks. When this is done, push each block down this row and south when you get to the end. Get all of the chips on the west side this way, including the corner.
Push the rest of the blocks into the two columns closest to the wall. Then, push more blocks down the west one of these two and before you get to the one-cell-wide passage, push them west to get the chips. Use all of the remaining blocks for this.
Eventually, you will run out of the blocks in the columns. You need to utilize the blocks around the toggle walls. The SW corner is like this:
Push the block that juts out north and use it. Press the green button and use the block one tile to the west (you have to press the button again to open the exit) The area becomes
Use the block farthest north and press the green button. Push the second block from the east south. Pressing the green button once more, utilize the available block.
Push a block west and push the block to the north of where the first block was north (a toggle block will pop out).
Press the green button and use the north of the two available blocks (pressing the green button to open the exit). Press the green button, push the last block east, press it again, and push the last block east four more spaces to use it.
To utilize all of the blocks in the east area, first use the one that is farthest west. Use the blocks NE and SE of that, too. Press the green button and use the block two tiles west of where the chip used to be. Do the same for both blocks directly SW of where the chip was and the block one square west and three squares south of where the chip was. To get the final block, press the green button, then push a block east onto an open toggle block. Use the block directly south of where it was (press the green button) to get the final chip.
More challenges await. Go south to the one-cell-wide passage. Push the block south and follow it. Push it one more square north, then push the block to Chip's right one to the east. Go back to the first block and push it in two. Quickly jump to the south, as the block will rebound. Push it north, take the chip, go on the forcefield, and repeat until you get to the north end. This time, go back south without a block, and you will push the block that you set up. Go back on the ice.
The last part is too complicated to explain with ASCII-art, thus I will explain by simply telling you the way. U=Up/North, D=Down/South, R=Right/East, L=Left/West. Enter the gate and go: 4R, D, 2R, U, 3R, D, 3R, U, R, 3D, L, 5D, R, 2D, 4L, U, L, 2U, R, 3U, L, U, 5L, D, 2L, 2D, R, D, 2R, D, R, D, L, D, L, D, 2L, 3D, 3R, D, 3R, 3U, 5R, 2D, U, R, D, R, U, R, D and HOME!

## Level 88:SPIRALS

This maze-like level not only differs between the Windows and Atari versions of the game, but also between Windows versions, as there are two different ones! The two Windows versions differ only on this level. Most Windows versions are not like the Atari one. These are the ones in BOWEP and some copies of WEP 4. In other copies of WEP 4, however, this level is virtually impossible (like on the Atari)!
In the windows version, the level is far simpler, and can be solved quickly by going right from the start and following the path. At the first and second intersections, go straight across. On the third intersection, go west and collect the chip, then go back to the third intersection and go south. Go south again at the fourth intersection. Go west at the fifth intersection. Go right across the remaining intersections until you are near the exit. Move south so that you are beside the chip socket, then head west to get the final chip. At this point, head back to the chip socket to finish the level. You score 317 seconds. In the other version, when you get near the exit to the final chip, you are blocked off just above the exit. This version requires a much longer path (and much riskier). Go D D D U D L R R D R L L L at each intersection. If you can manage to avoid the walkers (pay big attention to the "manage"!), you will score 300 seconds.

## Level 89:BLOCK BUSTER

This is one of the most infamous levels in the game. Go R U R D 2U. Push the block right when it arrives. Go D 2U and push the block right again. Go D 2R and U to push the block in the water. Push the topmost button to make another block. Push it into the water and get the red key. Go back down, 3L U L and push the new block right. Push U 2D U D (this is another timing part) and go R U (if you die here, try again. This route is based on "slide delay", the phenomenon of speed distortion on ice when a lot of things are on ice at once) L D. Now a block should be available to push into the water and get the green key. Get the chip behind the green locks. Now get the next chip and go through the next green and red locks. Get the chip and follow the path until you reach some clone buttons. Run across all the clone buttons and you will need to follow the path *through the ice* while avoiding the moving blocks. Then you will need to go down through the ice while avoiding the blocks again. Be careful not to push any blocks! Continue following the path and soon you will have to face more blocks. Those blocks have a pattern and you will need to have a quick mind to follow the pattern and get past the blocks. Getting past these blocks requires some really good luck. After that, continue following the path. You get another chip and now face more blocks. This time you want to push the blocks because you need to bridge to the exit. Try staying to the right when pushing the blocks. You get a reward of 402 seconds for busting the blocks.

## Level 90:PLAYHOUSE

Use the blocks to build a path to the force floors. Don't use the upper right block because it has fire under it, but build the bridge one square NE of here. Ride the force floors and go left. From the lower left corner of the area: 2U 2L U 2L U, then get the yellow key and chips. Now return to the part where the force floors brought you. You need to push the blocks into the water to form a path 2 blocks thick. To do this: Push the two middle blocks forward, push the two outside blocks forward, push the remaining blocks to the center, and push them forward. Do everything except push the block on the left before you go left. Cross your path (touch only one recessed wall) and go through the yellow lock to collect the chips and a blue key. Now go out of this area through your path. Go a little to the right and find the opening in the wall of blue blocks below you just under the hanging blue wall. Go right and cross the ice for some chips, then go all the way to the left and go through the blue lock. Slide down the ice path. Get the nine chips and the green key at the top. There is no way to get the ice boots and the chip (you don't need them anyway). Slide back on the ice path and get out of the pink ball area. Go to your far left and up through the green lock. Push the first block all the way to the left (aligned with the other block) and use the blocks to cross the water. Get all those chips that spell "GOOD LUCK". Then go past the fire (you have the fire boots) to get even more chips. Go through the green lock that leads to the chips (not to the pink balls) and collect the remaining chips you need. Go through the chip sockets and into the exit square. You score 318 seconds.

## Level 91:JUMPING SWARM

This is possibly the most difficult level in the game. It must be completed quickly before the player is overwhelmed by the walkers. Go up and left for 2 chips. Go to the top and then to the top left corner (16 left). Go down and get the nearest chip on the right, then down again (13 left). Go back up and right to the top center, picking up 3 chips. About now you should be seeing some walkers. Go right and down (8 left). Go down to the pair of chips and get the bottom first. Go up, right, and down (1 left). Go to the right and get the last chip. You may die here, but try again. Go down to the bottom and get to the exit. Luckily you have more seconds (367) than walkers!!

## Level 92:VORTEX

Follow these directions at the very start: L 2U 2R D R 3D 5L 2U 2L 3D 4L U 2L 3U (A) 2R 2U 5R U 2R U R 4U R 5U. Now there is a walker at the space to your right and there is a fireball at your upper-right. Clear the blue block at the bottom of the walker's area to free him (be careful not to get hurt). Then go up to the fireball area and get the blue key from there, careful not to get hit by the fireball. Now get out of this monster place! Go back to A, go under the green key, and pick it up (behind the recessed wall). You don't need it, but...... Continue forward and circle around with the fireballs. Get the chip when you reach it, then go deeper and deeper into the center of this place while collecting the chips. You will reach a teleport at the center- go up (crossing over it) and down through it to get a chip. Go back through the teleport and make your way to the outer ring of fireballs. Collect that chip at the bottom, through the blue lock and chip socket... finished! 444 seconds left.

## Level 93:ROADSIGN

Get the block to the right (on the peninsula). Put it where you started. From that spot go U 3L D and left until you see the block. Hit the toggle button a couple times and push the block down. Push it to the right, down, and right again. Go near the chip socket and push one down, then go up. Detonate one bomb and put the other block where the bomb was. Go to the top center, get the chip (the balls should be trapped), and bring the block to the start area. Push it above the other block and push the lower block below the gravel. Push the block in the force floors down to the penultimate opening, go around the force floors, and push the readied block into the water at the top. Get the other block at the right, push it just under the gravel, and push the other block through the maze 2L 3U 2L 2D 6L 2D 3R 3U, leaving it there. Push the second block up through the gliders and in the water. Get the chip at the right of the area. Bring the last block through the maze 2L 2U 4R and up to the top. Push it into the water at the left to get the last chip. The exit is by the start. Yield to gliders! You should not lose your way to 650.

## Level 95:FOUR SQUARE

This level will fool most players on their first few runs. Most will attempt to get the chips locked in the doors in the enterance area, but a different method is required. First, head south into the teleporter and push the block down once. Head west and get the red key, and then push the block above into the teleport. Follow it and push it into the water, but don't step on it yet. Go back through the teleporter the way you came out, open the walker room, and get the chip at the right. If you survived, get the other key and push the block down into the teleporter. Follow it through and go south and west through the red door to get the yellow key. Step on the old dirt and go through the yellow door to the exit. You have become the king and score 335.

## Level 96:PARANOIA

The key to this level is the fire boots. They are not needed, but save 17 seconds. Chase the first tank and grab the first two chips. Wait for it to pass and grab the third chip and blue key. Go over the blue button twice after getting the key to send the tank towards you. Go into the third chip's crevice and wait for the tank to pass, then run west and go through the door. Collect the first chip below, then press the blue button. Wait for the tank to pass underneath and move down. Press the blue button again at the same time as the above tank presses its blue button. Grab the red key and fire boots. Collect the nearby chip, and press the blue button and collect the last chip in the row. When the tank passes, go up and west and throught the red door. Cross the ice through the fire and head up and around. When you reach the recessed wall, wait until the bee passes and go down twice, east once, and down twice so that you are southeast of the jutting wall. Wait for the bee to move onto the square southwest fo you, and go down to the recessed wall. If you went this far without misstep, you should be able to collect all of the chips in the next part without interference. If not, use the fires to avoid the balls. When you reach the paramecium part, go north through the second channel and collect the chips counter-clockwise from the southwest chip. Head north after collecting the fourth chip and through the recessed wall. Avoid the balls in the next part and collect the top four chips on the east side, then head back to the top, and collect all the chips on the west side. At the bottom, go west and north and get the red key. Head back and collect the remaining two chips on the east side of the balls. Head back around the east wall and go up through the red door.
In this final area, the bugs follow an invisible set of walls shaped similar to an 'X' but with no centre. Collect four chips along the south wall, then go north into the fire, and east and collect two more. Head north four space after the second chip, then east (Avoiding bugs). Collect four chips to the east, and go counter-clockwise around the outer wall and collect four chips to the north, and four to the west before heading through the western exit to the chip socket and finish. You score 320 seconds for scaring everything.

## Level 97:METASTABLE TO CHAOS

Open the dirt below you and bring a block at the right to this same spot. The tricky part: From the old dirt spot, go D L D (wait) 3R (wait) D (wait) R 2U (wait) 3R exit. Despite the huge instability, you are safe in the exit and score 290 seconds.

## Level 98:SHRINKING

Spiral through the circling balls, right, down, left, up, and right, to get the chips at each of the first seven areas and then the exit. Wait before the fourth, fifth, and sixth areas, and when leaving the seventh. Hurry, the clock is shrinking! Score: 338.

## Level 99:CATACOMBS

Go up and right, getting the blue key. Go through the blue door and get two yellow keys. Go through the one at the right and get the red key. Go through the other door and get another red key. Go to the top and get the chips through the red door. Get the blue key at the top right. Go back down through the two red doors and chips, and then get another red key at the left. Go through another door and get two more chips. Get another blue key. Go to the center, through the green and blue doors, and exit.
There is a faster way, but it requires treading on the random force floors and risking being hit by the blocks. Just to the right of the trapped bees, push the first block up and the second right. You should hopefully go right. Get the chips at the top and circle around the red door. Get the two chips and go down. Get the red key and go to the bottom. Push the block onto the force floor. Hopefully it will go up and you will go right. Get the blue key, go through the green door above, and repeat the pattern. You will only need one of the blue keys, adding 6 seconds in total for a score of 380 seconds.
