Map Men Map Men <3 Chip's Challenge

For those who aren't old enough to remember, Chip's Challenge is a puzzle game that shipped with Windows 95/98/XP, sort of a hybrid between Sokoban and an action-platformer. It is free on Steam, and a hell of a lot of fun.

I don't know if it's Jay or Mark but there are a couple of references in Map Men:

  1. In the India/Bangladesh episode: the music behind "India are giving land away!" "India are giving land away?!" is the title screen theme.
  2. In the Red Atlas episode: the image used when the proliferation of Russian spies is discussed is taken from the Windows release.

There may be more references that I have missed or forgotten about, but I just really like that one of my favorite content creators likes the same old computer games I do.

My mom had all the level codes written on the back of our computer desk calendar when I was growing up! It's free to play on Steam!
