In 1988 Sokoban was published in US by Spectrum HoloByte for the Commodore 64, IBM-PC and Apple II series as Soko-Ban. Sokoban was a hit in Japan, and had sold over 400,000 units in that country by the time Spectrum HoloByte imported it to the United States.[1]
Reception
A 1988 review in Computer Gaming World praised Spectrum HoloByte Soko-Ban for being "pure and simple, very playable and mentally challenging", citing its addictive qualities.[2] It was also reviewed in 1988 in Dragon #132 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4½ out of 5 stars.[3]
