BRIEF INSTRUCTONS: ****************** Soukoban is a classic logical puzzle game invented in the early 1980s by Hiroyuk i Imabayashi, president of Thinking Rabbit Incorporated Japan. Soukoban is Japanese for wareh ouse keeper, and the objective is to move all the boxes to their correct destination in a cro wded warehouse. What's the catch? You can only push the boxes, hence it's easier than you think to get them stuck in a dead end! Because of the ingenious simplicity and elegance of the rul es, and the intellectual challenging complexity of the puzzles, Soukoban quickly became popu lar and has bedeviled computers and players ever since.
