It was the original. Epyx were also the creators of Lynx hardware. Every other version was a port.

They tricked the European public into believing that they were buying the superior American software. It was kinda believable on Commodore 64.

And then the sequel is actually on Win95 though unreleased until recently.

There is also the spiritual successor made by the very same guy, Chuck's Challenge, showing how popular Chip's Challenge really is by going so unnoticed i bet most people here went "Wait, the fuck is Chuck's Challenge?" while reading this post.

Its free on steam now with options to change the graphics and music to different versions. I prefer the unanimated windows version

Lynx has some pretty good games, give it a try. The graphics are surprisingly better than several consoles and PCs that were out at the same time, too.
