'''Data resetting''' is a [[glitch]] in [[Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge|MSCC]] allowing data stored on a virtual 32nd row of the [[grid]] to affect gameplay. It is commonly an element of [[insane level]]s. Data resetting is currently not emulated by [[Tile World]], and does not exist in [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] or in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. | '''Data resetting''' is a [[glitch]] in [[Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge|MSCC]] allowing data stored on a virtual 32nd row of the [[grid]] to affect gameplay.
