Chutes and Ladders is another long lost educational game to add to the GTW archives, and another which we know little about at the moment. It is assumed from the title that it is a kind of Snakes and Ladders game which was being developed and which never was.
Roger Pederson was involved on the game, and was believed to be its developer on a variety of platforms including IBM, Apple II and C64. All his games were first developed on an IBM, and then later ported to Apple II and C64 with relative ease.
It was unknown about what had happened to the game, but Syd Bolton from the Personal Computer Museum got in touch to say that they owned the game. And here it is:

And in extra quick time, Syd has very kindly preserved the game for posterity!…. See the download link above! Many thanks Syd!
Please note that it is NTSC only, until someone does a fix. We are not going to add any scans or shots as this is confirmed as a released game, just in limited numbers.
Case closed…
