Pipe Mania
1991: 80
A simple puzzle game, but one which will have you coming back for more.
The premise is straightforward: you're given a random series of pipe sections, and must lay them in a fashion that allows for some liquid to pour through it. You get a head start before things start flowing, and in order to pass the level, the liquid must pass through a minimum number of tiles - any more will net you more points. Later levels see objects blocking certain tiles, and eventually end points that the liquid must reach, but there is a password system to help you reach them.
I imagine that this game has been brought up to date on newer systems, but it's still a good addition to the list here. The difficulty curve is well designed, as at the beginning you'll just be struggling to keep it going, but as you improve you'll find the obstacles give you a fresh challenge. Puzzle fans should give it a go, methinks.
