When Sander Niessen (the man behind the annual MSX Xmas quiz) approached us if we would like to create a small Christmas themed game as a weekend-task for the Xmas Quiz of 2025 we didn't need to think twice!
We made a piece of code, added some graphics to the mix and shook it (no stirring was involved) all night long...
Until it was as smooth as santa's cheeks. And now, here it is, best served ice-cold: Super Sokoban the Xmas quiz edition.
Intro
The Grinch is back! This time he didn't try to steal christmas (we all know how that story went). In a grumpy mood he thought it would be funny to mess with Santa's presents and hid them all over the place!
It's your task to put the presents back on the pick-up points so Santa can take them easily and distribute them with his sleigh.
Play the game
There are 2 ways to play the Xmas quiz version of Super Sokoban:
You can either download the ROM file for use in an emulator (in BlueMSX choose Konami SCC as ROM type) or play it online.
