Used to love playing Soko-Ban back in the day (in glorious 4-colour CGA). It has held up remarkably well for a game that’s turning 40 next year :)

You can play it online here:

Screenshot of the game: warehouse with magenta walls and six cyan boxes littered around. The goal is for your hard-hatted wearhouse worker to push the boxes to the six destinations on one side of the room without getting stuck. At the bottom is a status line showing the level (1), moves (0), pushes: (0), and time (00:09).

@aral I think this might be the first boxed game I remember having when I was a kid! and if I recall, the 5.25" floppy was multiplatform, depending on which side was up.

@rajelaran Oh wow, I don’t remember seeing any multi platform floppies, that’s really neat (we never got original games in Malaysia, even the computer stores only sold pirated ones).

@aral I was googling around to try to find an image of an original floppy to confirm my memory, but no dice so far.
I do remember it saying to flip the disc for other systems on the label though, and even as young as I was I thought that was really cool and nifty.
