Eric7100 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 One of my earliest childhood gaming memories is playing "Pipes" on the Tandy 1000 (my first computer). For those of you unfamiliar with this game, click here (and scroll down to the first game): http://www.raphnet.net/divers/game_memories/index_en.php I have always wondered why a game similar to this one was never made for the Intellivision. Could it be easily made? Would anyone here even be interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 It looks like it would be doable - tile background and arrangement of parts, etc. In fact it would probably look better on Intellivision than the CGA graphics of the original! As to "easily" I'm not really qualified to say. There doesn't appear to be any real technical reason that would be a problem. I bet it could be pulled off using IntyBASIC without much difficulty.

Eric7100 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 So... anyone interested in making this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The Intellivision could certainly do a version of this game. Unfortunately, puzzle games don't sell very well, so I doubt there would be a CIB version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zendocon Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I was thinking about making a couple games that involve pipe-building. This one might fit right in with that theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+fdr4prez Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Oh, you don't even need to release them... Simply *threatening* to release them will get his dander in a bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
