[comp.sys.mac.games] Cruel Pipe Dreams

I was playing pipe dreams on a 5 meg cx with no other apps loaded and
having a great game. I had made it through twenty some levels when I
got blind sided by a wrong way pipe about twenty pipes behind where I
was. That was cruel enough (I needed seven more pipes to advance) but
when I went to enter my name in the leader board with a score 40,000+
better than any previous score (157,000 total), It crashed with an
"unexpectedly quit (1) error"!The music keeps playing but the game
screen is comepletely gone. Finder works, everything works, but the
music just keeps playing like a possessed demon machine!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
SSSSSHHHHHHHHIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!

Now that Pipe Dream got mentioned (ah, it was a fun 2 player game), it brought
to mind a german game i've seen relatively recently.  It's called splash.  It's
kinda like pipe dream, but with (IMHO) many improvements.  First, the graphics
are much better.  Second, it's a different kind of game...it is hard to explain.  Just thought I'd mention it so you game fanatics can look out for it...check
out Splash! if you can find it.  You will have to talk to someone else about
where to find it...I don't think the warehouses et al have this in stock :)
