deano3663: I remember an old game where you were a space ship that had to destroy bases made of pipes and shoot the center of them to destroy the whole thing. You had to clear the whole map and loads of enemies shot at you.

update: It was a two dimensonal game , with a sort of space invaders art style. You could only move your ship in 45 degree angles. It was sort of a bullet hell type game

Anyone have any idea what this game was called?

tinyE: I assume you looked at the vertical shooters here? There are a few. Did this game resemble any of them?

deano3663: nah it wasnt a vertical shooter , it was on a map and you had a minimap that showed where the rest of the pipes were

tinyE: Oh sorry. :P

It does sound vaguely familiar but my brain is still waking up so I can't think of any titles.

adaliabooks: Was there any base building elements to it?

It sounds somewhat similar to an old shareware game I played years ago..

deano3663: uh not that i can remember , you had different levels but i dont think you ever built anything

tinyE: don't.
