player must push boxes onto
their storage locations. Once all boxes are in place, the level is
complete.

Sokoban64 contains 100 puzzles divided into two difficulty levels. I know
you know that you like playing this game, so stop denying yourself the fun
and download a copy!

COMMODORE 64 AND THE INTERNET
*************************************

AS a follow-on from last issue's Contiki tutorial, we have Dan Wood with
his YouTube video on how to connect a Commodore 64 8-bit to the Internet,
using BBS, IRC And WWW and also WarpCopy. He uses the 64NIC + cartridge
and the Contiki software. So even people who don't want to be bothered to learn can copy his actions.

COMMODORE FREE

Two simple games tightly coded in Basic. However, the games are fast and, although sharing 90% of the same code base, are different enough for you to take a preference. For example, I can't understand football so I played
the Hockey version. I found the game very entertaining, reminding me of something like the Nintendo game and watch variations that were available.
The games are well-thought out, with just enough animations to make them interesting. The players are basically roted to the spot and just swing
out to move the ball, puck or whatever. I didn't have time for a full
review but I will rate them both together

SCORES

Graphics: 7/10
simple, but well-animated
Gameplay: 7/10
you need a friend to really enjoy
the fun
Sounds: 3/10
just some blips
Overall: 7/10
fast, well-
