Crates is a Sokoban-type game with original levels. Each level is full of boxes which your character must push in four directions, one square at a time, onto designated squares to complete the level. Boxes can never be pulled, meaning they can get stuck against walls, and only one box can be pushed at a time. Starting play is really that simple, but the solutions are extremely challenging. The popularity of this type of game has endured for good reason. Originally a CGA game, a second shareware version was released that also supported EGA. The shareware versions didn't have version numbers and lacked advanced features, while the registered version had a V.100, V.120, V.125, V.130, V.140 and V.150 release. A shareware release in 1992 mentioned the registered version numbers up to V.140, but was not shareware V.140 because they were based on different code. After that, the shareware version was deleted and a new shareware V.150 was created based on the code from registered V.150, with all of the functionality of the registered version except for the level editor, with the same levels as the original shareware version. The registered version comes with 50 extra levels. Downloads

The Jelly Bean Factory is a superb Columns clone. Columns of three jelly beans fall from the ceiling, and their order can be rotated. Get three or more of the same color jelly bean, horizontally, vertically or diagonally, and they disappear. Special jelly beans will destroy all jelly beans of one color on the entire screen. Striped jelly beans can only be destroyed by the special jelly beans. The graphics, music and sound are excellent, and there are a number of difficulty levels and soundtracks. Gameplay stops after the completion of any level in the shareware version. Downloads
