A genuine first-generation Macintosh artefact.
This is a ChipWits Version 1.0 disk for the Macintosh 128K, 512K and Lisa. The label identifies Brainworks, Inc., California, and credits Doug Sharp and Mike Johnston, ©1984.
Before “coding games” became a category.
ChipWits used icons and a stack-based programming model to let players build behaviour for a robot. The official ChipWits history describes the original game as an attempt to teach the basics of coding without making the player begin with a programming manual.
The original idea is still visible in the screen: a robot moves through a world, the player assembles instructions, and the result is something to observe, debug and improve.
This particular copy is offered at A$120.
