Pipefitting Game

[Len Whistler]

Years ago I played a game that I liked a lot and I think its JavaScript. I don't know the name but I will explain it the best I can. It was very addicting.

Water would flow through pipes and the object of the game was to add pipes (straight, angled or cross shaped) to keep the water flowing for as long as you could. If you are to slow the water flows through the end and the game is over. As the game goes along the water flows faster. You had to be quick when selecting the sections of pipes and the water flow would catch up to you fast. The object of the game was to use as many pipe sections as you could.

If anyone knows the name of this game and where to get it please let me know. Thanks

heheh, I remember that game well :)

You will find that it existed in a number of different forms, and different names, back in the 'old days'. I used to play it on my Commodore 64... a mate of mine had it on his Spectrum, too. I know it was also made for Amstrads, BBCs, and then for the Amiga, Acorn Archimedes, and finally for the IBM PC.

I am not sure if anyone still makes the game but you may very well find that someone somewhere has written a JavaScript version.

However, the downside is that I cannot remember the name of the game. It had something to do with pipes and plumbing though!

It may be of interest to you to know that here in the UK we have the game on Sky Interactive (on satellite) and it is called Pipe Mania.

It may also be of interest that Mario started off as a plumber doing something similar, but I cannot remember exactly what :)

Good luck in your search :thumbsup:

krycek....Thanks for the quick reply.

It was about 5 years ago that I played this game. It was on the computers at work and it was hard to get off the computers and do your work once you where playing this game.

The game was called PipeDream, and you can find a Java version of it here:
