==Legacy== Prompted by the popularity of the Microsoft releases, Sommerville created a sequel, ''Chip's Challenge 2'', in 1999. Sommerville was unable to release it independently, as the trademark was owned by Bridgestone Multimedia Group. Bridgestone, a Christian publishing company, had purchased Epyx's assets when that company folded in order to acquire Bible software produced by the company. Bridgestone had little experience with the video game industry, and required that Sommerville pay a six-figure fee for the right to publish the game, which was not consistent with industry norms. Sommerville resumed negotiations in 2010 and, after five years, Bridgestone and Sommerville's company Niffler released ''Chip's Challenge 2'' via [[Steam (service)|Steam]] on May 28, 2015, alongside a Steam release of the original game and a level editor.<ref name=orland>{{cite news|last1=Orland|first1=Kyle|title=How an early '90s Windows gaming classic was unearthed after years in limbo|url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/06/how-an-early-90s-windows-gaming-classic-was-unearthed-after-years-in-limbo/|access-date=25 July 2015|work=Ars Technica|date=9 June 2015}}</ref><ref name=grayson>{{cite news|last1=Grayson|first1=Nathan|title=23 Years After It Was Made, Chip's Challenge 2 Is Finally Out|url=http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2015/05/28/23-years-after-it-was-made-chips-challenge-2-is-finally-out|access-date=25 July 2015|work=Kotaku|date=28 May 2015}}</ref> During the negotiation period, Sommerville's company Niffler also developed other similar puzzle games.
