[[ | [[CCLP2]] was first released in 2002, prior to any stable release of [[Tile World]]. At the time, Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge was the only way to play Chip's Challenge, and the [[Lynx]] ruleset was nearly unheard of. As a consequence, CCLP2 contains 48 levels that are unplayable in Lynx, generally due to [[invalid tile]]s. 21 additional levels are playable (but unsolvable) in Lynx. | ||

However, 69 of CCLP2's remained unplayable in Lynx. There were several unofficial attempts at making CCLP2 entirely Lynx-compatible, but it took until late 2011 for a project to be formally organized. | ||

These levels had LX added to their titles. In addition to this, all [[monster]]s were removed from the [[monster list]] so that they remain motionless in MS, and all [[block]]s were turned into [[clone block]]s so they could not be pushed in MS. This rendered all LX levels unsolvable in MS. | ||
The CCLXP2 staff attempted to contact as many designers as possible for permission to edit their levels.
