On March 17, 2026, the retro game distribution service Project EGG added Gorby no Pipeline Daisakusen (MSX2 version) to its catalog.
A falling-block action puzzle where players combine pipe blocks to build a line. Construct a grand pipeline across 10 cities.
About the Game
Originally released in 1991, Gorby no Pipeline Daisakusen is an action puzzle game developed by Compile. The player's objective is to use falling pipe blocks to build a pipeline that carries water from the right side of the screen to the left. Blocks arrive in pairs that can be rotated, and if one half of a pair is left suspended in mid-air after landing, it splits off and falls separately — a mechanic familiar to fans of falling-block games.
When a pipeline is completed, it disappears, and the blocks below transform into blue blocks that offer a chance at high scores. Items such as water drops, bottles, and drills also appear during play, providing a well-balanced action puzzle experience.
Clearing the required number of pipelines in a stage advances the player to the next. The game takes players through 10 cities, from Tokyo all the way to Moscow, as they construct an epic pipeline across the globe.
The MSX2 version shares the same gameplay and stages as the consumer version, while offering richer graphics and a distinct BGM thanks to its different sound hardware.
