Pipe Mania bringing the Nineties back to your DS
Remember Pipe Mania (or, as it was known in the U.S., Pipe Dream?). You certainly should do, because Empire Interactive reckons it was "one of the most popular and ported puzzle games of all time" when launched back in the late-Eighties and Nineties on a string of home computers.
Even if the name doesn't ring any bells, you'll certainly be familiar with Pipe Mania's premise. It's one of those tile-based puzzle games where you rearrange pipe sections A or B to make sure fluid X or Y is getting to where it needs to be. Similar puzzles have appeared in numerous games, with BioShock one of the more high-profile titles to use the concept.
Anyway, now Empire is bringing Pipe Mania back on the DS. As in the original, players are required to construct networks of piping from pre-ordained tile sets to keep the "Flooze" flowing without spillage. It's out later this year, and we've carefully funnelled the first thirteen shots into the gallery below.
