Sokoban

Post by Marinus »

Just in case someone is interested, about 15 years ago, long before I ever heard of Wonderland, I saw this nice game. That why I knew the word Sokoban. You don't need to install it, it's a DOS-program, you can just unzip it somewhere in a folder and play. (open the SOKOBAN.EXE file)

Then you have to type the "enter/return"-key a few times more sometimes, choose "c"(IBM/CGA) and "k"(keyboard) and some "return"s more.

When you're in a level:
F1 = restart
u = last move back
p = pause (and the possibility to save at that level where you are)
ESC = to the elevator where you can choose the level

When you're in the elevator
number keys = level number (1-50)
a = accept
c = clear
l = back to windows (and then with the arrow keys to the exit)

Yes that indeed about the same idea, but a bit moderner 8) I tried one level yet. Thanks

Sokoban YASC is one of the best versions IMO. The graphics of course are not so much in comparision to Magic Sokoban, but it's freeware, has A LOT of levels, and almost all of them are good. Includes a level editor as well!
Well worth checking out.

Thanks! I think you're right. Magic-Sokoban looks very nice and it's nice you can point with the mouse instead of all single moves with the arrow keys, but there are not much levels for that money :( If I buy another game it has to be about as good as Wonderland 8)

I downloaded this one you posted Muzo, and if I'm right there are indeed hundreds of levels. I don't know if I play them all but it seems nice! :D

Edit: There's only one weird thing. There is a button "solution" and it's only able to activate it, when I already solved the level :roll: :lol:

It means "your" solution. :wink:
If you can't do a level, there's a solver built-in (I think) and some of them do have a solution, but for those which don't you have to use a solver, and it can still fail sometimes.
