Another arcade puzzle game: "Pipe Dream" — also from 1990.

Unlike Klax, Pipe Dream didn't start in the arcades, it started on the Amiga as "Pipe Mania" in 1989 — programmed by The Assembly Line (UK), with artwork by LucasFilm Games (Mark Ferrari¹).

The arcade version has some very japanese graphics (e.g. those firemen). Not sure if any of those two companies had any involvement with it beyond licensing the rights to Video System.

Pipe Dream (arcade) attract screen: a plumber looking tired next to a maze of pipes with some green sections spelling "Pipe Dream".

Pipe Dream (arcade) stage A is (loosely) themed after firemen having to connect a hose to fight a fire. Like it says on the right ("Norm 14"), you have to connect at least 14 pipe sections from "start" to "end" to clear the level.

Pipe Dream (arcade) stage B, themed (even more loosely) after a doctor connecting an IV line. In this instance, I failed the level and the green liquid has spilled.

I wonder what kind of drug that green stuff is...

Pipe Dream (arcade) stage C, loosely themed after construction workers building pipelines to bring water to a deserted area.

At least, that what the pre-stage splash screen implies because, again, what kind of green water is that? Looks more like toxic waste. Also, why are the background tiles an ocean with some islands? There's even some greenery on the islands... where is the desert?
