'''Chip's Challenge 1''', or CC1 for short, is the original [[level set]] released on the Atari [[Lynx]] in 1989, Windows Entertainment Pack 4 (WEP4) in 1992, and later with the Best of Windows Entertainment Pack (BOWEP) in 1994. It consists of 149 (148 in the Lynx version) levels which [[Chip]] must complete.
#redirect [[Chip's Challenge#The levels]]
 
As these were the first Chip's Challenge levels, they begin by introducing the functions of the [[tile]]s in the [[lesson level]]s, then tie them together in [[Nuts and Bolts]], and add new elements only sparingly from then on out. There are very few levels of high difficulty in CC1 compared to [[CCLP2]] or [[CCLP3]], as knowledge of puzzle design and game mechanics were comparatively primitive.
 
The levels were designed in approximately three parts: 1/3 of them by [[Chuck Sommerville]], another third by a professional puzzle designer (Bill Darrah), and the rest by Chuck's team of programmers and playtesters: James Donald, M. Peter Engelbrite, Victoria Hanson, RG Goudy, Stephen Jungels, Scott Nelson, and Pete Wierzbicki. The initials of Pete W. are left on [[Block Factory]]; Bill is known to have designed [[Castle Moat]] and Chuck [[On the Rocks]].
 
Among aficionados of this type of puzzle game, the windows version (usually referred to as the [[Ruleset|MS]] version) of Chip's Challenge (usually referring only to CC1 in this case) is famous for its [[glitch]]es and [[busted level]]s. This was a result of changed mechanics from [[Ruleset|Lynx]] to MS and little playtesting in the MS version. Although there were many levels made easier, such as [[Scoundrel]], some levels became far more difficult; the level that would become the [[Spirals corruption]] had to be changed because the [[walker]]s would spread far quicker under MS rules, and levels with extensive use of [[hot block]]s such as [[Block N Roll]] and [[Special]] became frustrating trial and error challenges to solve due to the inability to [[Block slapping|block slap]].
