Super Sokoban: Celebrating 40 Years on the MSX2

Posted on by Owen

In honour of the 40th anniversary of the classic puzzle game Sokoban, Dutch MSX veterans have crafted ‘Super Sokoban’ for the MSX2.

In 1982, Japanese developer Thinking Rabbit introduced the world to Sokoban, a puzzle game that has since become a cornerstone of the genre. The original MSX version debuted in 1984. Now, as part of the MSXdev24 competition, a new iteration titled “Super Sokoban” has been released, offering enhanced graphics and SCC soundtracks.

Players guide a warehouse worker, manoeuvring boxes to designated spots within confined spaces, demanding strategic foresight. The game offers two modes and a password system, ensuring both challenge and accessibility. For newcomers, an included manual provides guidance.
