Mike L's Chip's Challenge Site
Tips, Information about the Game, and More
- Chip's Challenge newsgroup — official discussion group for Chip's Challenge. Use this link if you have a newsreader such as Outlook Express; you will also have to get a username and password from Annexcafe. If you don't want to use a newsreader, then use the newsportal at Anders Kaseorg's site to access the group through your Internet browser.
- CC Zone — a discussion forum by Tom P. Probably the most popular CC discussion forum at this time besides the official newsgroup.
- Chip's Challenge Wiki — started by Craiga2124. A "wiki" containing lots of CC info and level walkthroughs (video and text) for all CC1 and CCLP2 levels. Updated fairly often. I could see this turning into (and it kind of already is) one of the most informative CC sites out there.
- Chip's Plus Site — by Alice Voith. Has excellent maps and tips for CC1 levels. Site hasn't been updated since 1998, though. In late 2009 when GeoCities closed, this site went offline and has unfortunately not found a new home yet. Hopefully this will happen soon.
- Chip's Challenge Solution AVIs — maintained by Mike L (me). Animated solutions for all CC1 and CCLP2 levels.
- Public TWS — from pie guy's site. TWS solutions for all CC1 and CCLP2 levels. To view the solutions, you need Tile World (listed below in the "Chip's Challenge clones" section).
- CC solutions — from StrategyWiki. Has walkthroughs for many CC1 and CCLP2 levels.
- Chip's Challenge Corridor — by Anders Kaseorg. Includes a FAQ with questions and answers submitted by CC fans. Included in the FAQ is general CC info, info on the Microsoft port (the most popular version), info on other ports, and information on the famous unreleased Chip's Challenge 2. Also included is the old AVI site.

Programs people have made for Chip's Challenge
