Heron: Steam Machine Available on WiiWare this Friday

Looks pretty cool. Probably will get this one.

I played this a long time ago... It came on one of those 3.5" floppy disks for PC and was called pipe dream.... There were some differences... But still looks like a very similar game... Fun game though.

Uh. I have seen so many versions of this game that I can't count them anymore. It's a great game concept like Sokobon, simple and yet addictive, but honestly, it's nothing special and it's getting old.

Looks rather like the most forgettable sections of Bioshock.

Yep this is a mini game in Bioshock. This is yet another shovelware game i'll skip.

I guess they nixed development on Heroin: Dream Machine, and made this....can't say I approve of the decision.

Monday's WiiWare release down. Unless there are more, we gotta hope on DSiWare and VC (although it will probably end up being another dissapointment)

@ Swerd_Murd

I lol'd, really I did. That being said, it really does look like the Bioshock minigame, and as far as minigames in games go, that minigame was a bad minigame. A good one would be the card game in Final Fantasy 8. Or even blitzball. A blitzball game for WiiWare would sell millions.

Gaming Goodies!

Pipe Mania/Pipe Dream
It looks nothing like those game. In Pipe dream (at the game boy and arcade versions I've played) you place the pipes onto the grid rather than rotating them. I also remember the game boy game having a hidden mini-game which played more like Tetris.

This is more like...a game I can't thing of the name of but has also been "elaborated on" numerous times. It doesn't look too bad but I'm hoping it at least has some substantial single-player to it. I'm kind of left dry over Magnetis only being a few variants of score attack for the lone player. Things like Pop have Medels to earn and Maboshi with thwe whole helping Mr.Maboshi makes it feel you are making some progress.

Yeee for the Dutch. Hope it will be good, but I think I await a few reviews. Don't have any points too at the moment. I'm saving them for LiT.

So we're getting another game that can be played for free on the internet...

I'll wait for the review.

This game is like Overflow but with all the pieces already in place.

I would also have wanted a game more like Overflow than this.

I'm not spending points on this. I need more points anyway

I have been waiting for this game since it was announce in the summer. I sure hope it comes to the Americas soon. And for 500 points, its basically a must unless you guys give it a bad review. I guess the nice thing with it coming to Europe first is I'll know the review before it comes to America.

I'm planning on reviewing this one unless there's another staffer who's jonesing for it. I do wish it was simply Pipe Dream because I love that game (especially the arcade incarnation), but this could be interesting and you simply cannot have too many puzzle games, can you?

And for 500 points, its basically a must unless you guys give it a bad review.

What is the meaning of this nonsense?

I remember playing a card version called Waterworks created by Parker Brothers in 1972. (Oh my that's a while ago.)
Steam machine looks like frantic fun.

Looks very interesting, and 500 is a real bargain.
I have full trust in Sean that he will test it to the last detail and will help me in my desicion to get it or not. Therefore, I feel similar than XC Warrior´s nonsense.

how can people judge this as shovelware just off a few images and small write up.
to me it seems like it can be fun and for just 500 points

Pipe Mania was from LucasArts, right?

^ Pipe Mania was developed by The Assembly Line for the Amiga. As far as I know LucasFilm Games published it and ported it to several other systems under the name "Pipe Dream".

Pipe Dream/Mania used a variety of different kinds of pipe pieces and layouts to create enough variety to maintain interest; if this game lacks that then I think the appeal will be quite limited in duration.

@Digiki And for 500 points, its basically a must unless you guys give it a bad review.
"What is the meaning of this nonsense?"

How does it not make sense? At 500 points, unless it gets a bad review, I'm going to buy it.

@Sean Aaron: I agree that I love Pipe Dream/Mania and hope this game provides that same kind of enjoyment. Judging by the video, it looks like it will provide that. I sure hope so. Can't wait for your review.

How does it not make sense? At 500 points, unless it gets a bad review, I'm going to buy it.

Me too, absolutely.

Pipe Mania fan over here. I know this game doesn't play exactly like Pipe Mania, but it has piqued my interest. I'll need a revw though please
