Pipe Dream was produced by Video System Co. Ltd. in 1990. A puzzle game where the player has to connect pipes.
Each level of this abstract puzzler challenges the player to set up a network of pipes to allow an unspecified substance known as 'flooz' to flow through as many of those as possible. The pieces are offered in random order, and there are seven different types - straight lines going horizontally or vertically, corners rotating in each of the four directions, and cross-over pieces which carry the flooz straight across horizontally and vertically. Each of these can be entered from either side. When the flooz hits a gap, or a piece which the previous piece can't flow into, the pipe is finished.

Before the flooz starts flowing from its randomly-selected starting position, the player has several seconds to start placing pieces. They can be put down anywhere. However a situation that can often occur is there will be a long and complex piping arrangement set up, yet a gap somewhere remains to be filled. Players are able to replace a piece with another in the same square (to make it easier to flow the flooz that way), but for a slight scoring penalty.

Bonuses are awarded for looping the flooz through both sides of at least 5 cross-over pieces, or passing the flooz through every square on the screen. Later levels have some squares on the grid blocked off, a few gaps in the side-wall (allowing flooz to thread to the other side of the screen). After every four levels there is a bonus game for points, in which the player can only place the pieces in the lowest open space in each column, similarly to the board game of "Connect 4".

Pipe Dream diproduksi oleh Video System Co. Ltd. pada tahun 1990. Sebuah permainan puzzle dimana pemain harus menghubungkan pipa.
Setiap level teka-teki abstrak ini menantang pemain untuk membuat jaringan pipa untuk memungkinkan zat yang tidak ditentukan yang dikenal sebagai 'flooz' mengalir melalui sebanyak mungkin pipa. Potongan ditawarkan dalam urutan acak, dan ada tujuh jenis yang berbeda - garis lurus horizontal atau vertikal, sudut berputar di masing-masing dari empat arah, dan potongan silang yang membawa flooz lurus secara horizontal dan vertikal. Masing-masing dapat dimasuki dari kedua sisi. Saat flooz mengenai celah, atau bagian yang tidak dapat dialiri oleh bagian sebelumnya, pipa selesai.

Sebelum flooz mulai mengalir dari posisi awal yang dipilih secara acak, pemain memiliki beberapa detik untuk mulai menempatkan bidak. Mereka dapat diletakkan di mana saja. Namun situasi yang sering terjadi adalah pengaturan perpipaan yang panjang dan rumit, namun masih ada celah yang harus diisi. Pemain dapat mengganti bidak dengan bidak lain di kotak yang sama (agar lebih mudah mengalirkan flooz seperti itu), tetapi dengan sedikit penalti skor.

Bonus diberikan untuk memutar flooz melalui kedua sisi minimal 5 potongan silang, atau melewati flooz melalui setiap kotak di layar. Level selanjutnya memiliki beberapa kotak di grid yang diblokir, beberapa celah di dinding samping (memungkinkan flooz untuk terhubung ke sisi lain layar). Setelah setiap empat level ada permainan bonus untuk poin, di mana pemain hanya dapat menempatkan bidak di ruang terbuka terendah di setiap kolom, mirip dengan permainan papan "Connect 4".
