It only went into space once, under remote control, then was kept in a hangar for ages, until that collapsed on it.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722956860700640056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-87739538118063877832010-11-22T10:40:25.391+09:002010-11-22T10:40:25.391+09:00Thanks, Sketcz!

It is kind of a cross between Pipe Dream and the general "Stuff falling from the top of the screen" genre of puzzle games. I think its unique enough to stand on its own though and be worth checking out.<br /><br />Actually if it had a multi-player mode it would probably be one of my most played games. Alas, it has none. What a missed opportunity.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-46440705185806189482010-11-22T00:52:10.253+09:002010-11-22T00:52:10.253+09:00Fascinating entry - thanks for the Wikipedia trans...Fascinating entry - thanks for the Wikipedia translation. <br /><br />I stumbled across a picture of Gorbi's cover before, and had dismissed it as just being Pipe Dream on the NES, which did get a US release. How wrong I was!<br /><br />A quick search now shows me that, despite having the same mechanical concept, the two appear to be entirely different games. In which case shame on me for being so dismissive.Sketczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333200178515493705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-84580452924764696002010-11-21T17:56:47.764+09:002010-11-21T17:56:47.764+09:00Thanks, Bryan!Thanks, Bryan!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-81983266333887429182010-11-21T15:52:07.670+09:002010-11-21T15:52:07.670+09:00BTW, Sean -- I say write about whatever you want o...BTW, Sean -- I say write about whatever you want on this blog.
