A version for the BBC Micro called Robol was published by a third party in 1993. In 1988, Sokoban was published in US by Spectrum HoloByte for the Commodore 64, DOS and Apple II as Soko-Ban. The puzzle is solved when all boxes are at storage locations.

Boxes may not be pushed into other boxes or walls, and they cannot be pulled. The player can also move into a box, which pushes it into the square beyond. The player is confined to the board, and may move horizontally or vertically onto empty squares (never through walls or boxes).

Some floor squares contain boxes, and some floor squares are marked as storage locations. The game is played on a board of squares, where each square is a floor or a wall. Sokoban was created in 1981 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi, and published in 1982 by Thinking Rabbit, a software house based in Takarazuka, Japan. The puzzle is usually implemented as a video game. Sokoban is a type of transport puzzle, in which the player pushes boxes or crates around in a warehouse, trying to get them to storage locations.
