Ruben Spaans

Ruben Spaans

Ruben Spaans is one of the original Charter Chipsters from when the Chip's Challenge community was just starting back in the late 1990s. He is 9th place in Chip's Challenge 1 and 18th place in Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2. He created some of the first programs for Chip's Challenge - MapMaker and T-Chip. He also had a CC website that listed the records on CC1 and CCLP2 levels (the data was actually tracked by Warwick Anderson), but it wasn't updated since 2004, so Mike L began tracking the records at his site. Ruben's site had originally started hosting the records pages after Alice Voith's site stopped being updated.

Ruben is Norwegian, and is originally from the city of Brønnøysund, but currently lives in Trondheim. He is 38 years old.
