Released in 1990, Shove it! ...The Warehouse Game is one mind boggling puzzle game. This is one obscure game that I probably wouldn't have even known about if not for an old episode of Captain S in witch he acts out The Warehouse Game. I somehow managed to find a copy shortly afterwards but haven't seen any other copies since. I wouldn't say it's rare as it seems to go really cheap online.

This game's not for everyone, as you can see it does little to show the power of the 16-bit hardware but this game's all about the puzzles! The music while simple FM is catchy but the problem is there's only one main song as you play the game so after 30 minutes you'll want to listen to something else. But you can definitely play this game with the mute button on and some external tunes. You don't need the sound to play this game!

I've played similar puzzle games where you can move objects forward and backward. What makes this game so much harder is the fact you can only push the boxes forward. No matter how hard you try, you can't pull them backwards! Often knowing exactly what box to move first, what boxes have to be moved out of the way in order and what boxes have to be put away first all have to be thought about. Many of the puzzles appear to be easy at first but will require a lot of planing or at least many tries since you can restart a level as many times as you wish. Everything is harder than it looks in The Warehouse Game!

Oh yeah, if you missed out on the whole Captain S thing check it out here...

It's an old website so you may need Quick Time to watch the videos. You can also search for him here on You Tube and find his episodes. The episode based on this game is Episode 5 called "When Push Comes to Shove It!"
