Sokoban is a classic puzzle game first released in 1982 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi for the NEC PC-8801 in Japan and later ported to a number of platforms, including DOS, as Soko-Ban. The name "Sokoban" translates to "warehouse keeper" in Japanese, which perfectly describes the game's premise. You control a warehouse worker (the Sokoban) who must push crates onto designated storage locations. The goal is to place all crates onto their targets with the fewest moves possible.
ACE (1988): "Originally released three years ago on Japanese MSX cartridge, it's a bit of a shock to see this one in 1988. The simplicity of the game idea has stood the test of time, but the presentation, sadly, hasn't. What's more, other games (Bonecruncher, for example) have managed to combine challenging simplicity with more varied gameplay."
