'''Chip's Challenge 1''', or CC1 for short, is the original [[level set]] released on the [[Lynx|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 levels (148 in the Lynx version) which [[Chip]] must complete.

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 future fan-made level packs such as [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2]], 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 known as 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
* Pete Wierzbicki

Among aficionados of this type of puzzle game, the Windows version (usually referred to as the [[Ruleset|MS]] version) of Chip's Challenge is famous for its [[glitch]]es and [[busted level]]s. This was a result of changed mechanics from [[Lynx 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]].
