The '''Quest for 6,000,000''' was an effort starting by the [[Charter Chipsters]] around 1998 to achieve a score of 6,000,000 in the original [[Chip's Challenge 1]]. It has now been long known that achieving 6,000,000 points is unfortunately impossible. Currently, the [[Melinda Score]] is 5,977,740, so obtaining 6,000,000 would require an additional total improvement of 2,227 seconds on even the theoretically perfect maximum known scores. | The '''Quest for 6,000,000''' was an effort starting by the [[Charter Chipsters]] around 1998 to achieve a score of 6,000,000 in the original [[Chip's Challenge 1]].

Since [[CCLP2]] has no untimed levels and therefore has more time bonuses, 6,000,000 has been achieved in CCLP2, the Melinda score being 6,050,990+. 6,000,000 has also been achieved in [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 3|CCLP3]] in both [[ruleset]]s, as well as [[CCLP1]] in the MS ruleset. The quest started again for CCLP1 in the Lynx ruleset, but has since been accomplished. | Since [[CCLP2]] has no untimed levels and therefore has more time bonuses, 6,000,000 has been achieved in CCLP2, the Melinda score being 6,050,990+. 6,000,000 has also been achieved in [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 3|CCLP3]] in both [[ruleset]]s, as well as [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 1|CCLP1]] in the MS ruleset.

Shortly after the release of [[CCLP1]], the '''Quest for 6,000,000''' was posed again, this time for the Lynx ruleset, as early score reports showed only another 100 seconds were needed. For quite some time, there were 10 theoretical seconds between [[The Last Starfighter]] and [[Blobs on a Plane]]. Seven of these have since been obtained; the 3 remaining seconds on the former are so far beyond the realm of feasibility, requiring several hundred [[blob]] moves to be in specific directions with very few wrong moves allowed. | Shortly after the release of [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 1|CCLP1]], the '''Quest for 6,000,000''' was posed again, this time for the Lynx ruleset, as early score reports showed only another 100 seconds were needed.

In July of 2014, 6,000,000 was proven to be achievable—albeit including the 3 nearly impossible seconds in The Last Starfighter. Six million without those 3 seconds was proven achievable on September 3, 2014 (GMT), and was actually achieved the next day. | In July of 2014, 6,000,000 was proven to be achievable—albeit including the 3 nearly impossible seconds in The Last Starfighter.
