I've still got Chip's Challenge on my Windows 3.1, which my Mom is gracious enough not to get rid of because she likes the word processor better than the one on the XP. I beat the game a long time ago, in the sense that I got to and finished the last level. But I don't feel that I've truly 'beaten' it, since I had to skip some levels. But little by little I've been going back and beating them. But some of them are just so long! Especially level 144 (I think) where you have to fight through a whole room of force field floors to get those darned chips. I'd give you the passwords you need, but I don't have the book my family wrote them all down in; it's in Canada and I'm in Finland right now.
I remember Skifree, Pipedreams, and Rodent's Revenge. I managed to get past the yeti once, and was a little disappointed to find the course went in a loop. I don't say this to brag, either, because the only way I was able to do it was by constantly pausing and unpausing so I could avoid the obstacles. Why couldn't the yeti just eat those stupid noob skiiers that get in your way? Ah well, that was a good way to kill time. The other two I played every now and then, but I think they got deleted at one point. They were fun, but Skifree and Chip's Challenge were always my favourites, though I occasionally played Jezzball, Maxwell Maniac, and Minesweeper (not that the last isn't available on every Windows computer anyway).
EDIT: My Mom got rid of the old 3.1; she put up an ad for anyone who wanted it for free. She got about 20 offers on the first day, and just gave it to the first person. Gah! Why couldn't she have given it to her loving daughter?
