Plumb-Bob has landed the biggest contract he's ever seen, and he's going to need it if his small plumbing business is to survive. As Plumb-Bob's apprentice, you'll need to contend with leftover piping and pumps running whether you're ready or not; Delays are unacceptable when big money is on the line. To succeed, it's going to take all of your skills, quick thinking, and plumb luck!
Gameplay
Use the joystick to select an available stage and press either button to start. The reservoir on the left of the screen will begin to deplete, and once it has emptied, slime will begin to pour from the pump.
Your cursor will start next to the pump and is moved with the joystick. Press the left button to place a pipe section from the top of the stack or the right button to speed up the slime. You can freely place a pipe section over another, but it will take longer than placing one in an empty space. You may not place pipe sections over solid blocks, the pump, drains, or any pipes that already contain slime.
Your goal is to create an unbroken pipeline from the pump to the drain while meeting the target length as shown on the scoreboard as 'T:##'.
Features

AtariVox Support
Plumb Luck DX can use the AtariVox or SaveKey for saving high scores as well as for speech. If one of these peripherals is connected to the right controller port of your 7800 during gameplay, up to three high scores will be saved automatically. Additionally, if you are using an AtariVox, you'll experience speech and sound effects through the AtariVox while you play Plumb Luck DX (sound effects can be disabled with the right difficulty switch).
