 Notice how the track order seemingly follows a numerical order, but it have a lot of "bumps" along the way.

To explain this order, here's more trivia. Here's the track order for the MSCC music tracks:

Quote:Track01 chips02.mp3
Track02 chips01.mp3
Track03 chips01.mp3
Track04 chips02.mp3
Track05 chips02.mp3
Track06 chips02.mp3
Track07 chips01.mp3
Track08 chips02.mp3
Track09 chips01.mp3
Track10 chips01.mp3
Track11 chips02.mp3
Track12 chips01.mp3
Track13 chips02.mp3
Track14 chips02.mp3
Track15 chips01.mp3
Track16 chips02.mp3
Track17 chips01.mp3
Track18 chips02.mp3
Track19 chips01.mp3
Track20 chips01.mp3
Track21 chips01.mp3
Track22 chips02.mp3
Track23 chips01.mp3
Track24 chips02.mp3
Track25 chips02.mp3
Track26 chips01.mp3

This order does not alternate regularly between CHIP01 and CHIP02, so the regular numerical order was adjusted slightly for CC2LP1 to make this the case. Depsite the wild ordering of the CC2 main game's music tracks, it does not alternatee regularly between CHIP01 and CHIP02  Fail

In the last level of Chip's Challenge 2 (Crazy II) Scott Joplin's Reflection Rag plays, wich was published posthumously.


RE: Pointless CC Trivia Thread - random 8 - 08-Nov-2020

CC2LP1 trivia, cross-posted from my scores thread:
  • It's impossible to finish Cave Diving or Time in a Bottle with 0 seconds remaining. Not because of monster cycles or anything (though Archival Footage was almost impossible for this reason), but because the timer is not "tick-aligned". All other levels can be completed with 0 seconds remaining.
  • It is possible to avoid all of the bonus flags in Greedy Twin. Idk how obvious that is, but it took me a moment.
  • Bonus points i couldn't avoid:
Code:
3:     60 (A Little Help)
31:    20 (A Helping Hand)
74:   100 (The Floodgates Open)
97:  2000 (Around the Corner)
123:  200 (Bar)
183:   10 (Triple Threat)
185: 1000 (Bigger Boulder Alley)

The password input screen of CC1 Lynx have some similarities to the one in Blue Lightning, namely both uses the same font (including the "conjoined" outlines), they are four letters long and the background is a solid color:

Blue Lightning - Chip's Challenge
         

 Both games were developed before the release of the Atari Lynx.


RE: Pointless CC Trivia Thread - JDGP030302 - 15-Nov-2020

In the DOS version of Chip's Challenge, Chip's skin color changes between the title screen (left), the actual gameplay (center) and the ending picture (rigth).
