I'm looking for a game I used to play several years ago... the idea was to push some kind of boxes into a certain area.. and when you did that you advanced to the next level with the number of boxes increasing for every level... I remember it was easy to get stuck by pushing the boxes into a corner..
Hope someone can help me with the name or where I can find it!

one of Soleau's BOLO quest games perhaps? (were the boxes reddy-oragne?)

Or Boxman?

my bad, i think thats what i was thinkin of. Its also by Soleau. If you like boxman, you'll like BOLO.

In bolo you play the same guy and you have to push green balls thru these 'mazes' and get them to go into holes. The catch is, once a ball goes into a hole, the hole fills in and disapears.

Also try FACETREX by Soleau. (Most of Soleau's old games were pretty much the same point) In FACETREX you have to puch these boxes with faces in them onto the black and white space whith their face on it. Like bolo, the main challenge is the fact that the object being pushed (the face blocks) don't stop moving until they hit a wall or another face block. Once a face block has been placed, [i don't thinl] it can be moved again, AND it becomes a 'wall'

Is it real, real old? The first thing I thought of was Soko-Ban (early 80's I think)
