Should the article mention how it's a minigame in Bioshock? 97.85.132.46 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 04:45, 28 December 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Of similar note is that it is used in a recent remake of Alien Swarm (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Alien_swarm) in the same manner, part of a hacking minigame. 125.236.175.235 (talk) 23:54, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Original version for Amiga?

What is the source for the claim that the original platform was the Amiga? The fact that, from what I can see, no screen ever uses more than 16 colors is an indication the the original platform was the Atari ST rather than the Amiga. NewRisingSun (talk) 13:58, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

John Dale created a preliminary version called Pipeline on the Amiga. [1] It was then taken by Lucasfilm Games, who developed the final version out of it. Though I don't know if it is correct to say that Pipe Mania originated on the Amiga (it seems to me both the Amiga and ST versions were developed by Lucafilm simultaneously). --Krótki (talk) 15:00, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reception section is misleading

A single 1994 review (the game is much older than 1994) does not sum up the huge acclaim that this game received. Indeed there was an ad for the game in magazines of the time that simply showed all the awards it had won and asked "need we say more?". It received the special award for getting 90%+ (or similar high marks) from almost every magazine for every format: Spectrum, Commodore, Atari, Amiga, PC, etc. By the time 1994 came, this game was old.

Well, I just found a bunch more reviews - if you have the time to build up the reception section, I'm sure you could make it shine. :) BOZ (talk) 18:22, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
