Pipe Dream arcade 1cc - course A

Описание: A 1-credit clear of the arcade game Pipe Dream [pipedrm], played with WolfMAME 0.284. Score: 1,383,000. An arcade version of the classic LucasArts game. Place pipes from a random inventory to flow some GOOP from point A to point B. You're required to flow it through a minimum quota of pipes in the process, too - in later levels, you have to deliberately take the long way around. (Level 15 is the extreme version of this: The start and end two squares apart, but for some reason, the goop needs to travel a long way in order for it to actually flow through the END) After the goop starts flowing, the game starts playing STRESS MUSIC as you rush to keep up. A fun game, but not a soothing one.

I found it useful to refer back to a screenshot of a successful pipe network for each level and try to reproduce that - for each pipe, I look for where it should go, focusing on finishing things closer to the start first. But copying a plan exactly doesn't work well - you still need some flexibility to build with what the game gives you. If you demand a certain connector (like a down-to-right elbow), you might have to go through a lot of tiles to get there. Sometimes it's best to build what you easily can with the pipes you've got.
