Warehouse Boy 1996, Unknown, Famicom |
Finding information on this game is hard. It turns out, it's a Russian homebrew of some kind (so good luck finding out who made it). I've also seen it referred to as "Warehouse Boy CKAAA #18" or "Warehouse 18".
It's basically a Sokoban style game where you play a boy in a warehouse who has to shove boxes into designated spots near the loading dock without trapping the boxes, rendering them immobile. Pretty simple. Still though, no word on who made it, and good luck finding out, because it's from Russia, and things are not going so well over there right now. I highly doubt this is the work of Alexi who made Tetris.This is giving me flashbacks from working at the Big "N" - My Experiences A long long time ago, in another life, I once worked at a place we'd call the "Big N". I'm sure, if you are reading this page, you know what "Big N" I'm referring to, since they are about a few blocks south of another place we'll call "M$" - they are literally a couple doors away from each other! And when I worked at the "Big N", I was hired in on contract as a "Dealer Returns Specialist" - what does Dealer Returns do? Well, we open boxes of product all day long, and process them for warranty repairs. At this time, it was their console that had a name similar to the kiddie term for "urinate" and a console that was sort of like a Game Boy but it had 2 screens. I excelled at this introductory job and wound up going through what basically passed for "the ranks". See, the contract company I worked for, was not run by bright people in this area, and they of course, hired me - an I.T. Specialist - do to a job as basically this - a "Warehouse Boy". About a month in, I was hired to work for a lady who was Wishy Washy about the placement of everything. My job included, testing incoming consoles, data entry, moving boxes and crates around, and worse yet counting bags of buttons - billions and billions of freakin buttons! So for about 1/3rd of my day every day, I was moving around pallets with a pallet jack being told "move this over here....no wait wait wait wait....move this over here, and move this over here......no wait wait wait wait...." - this is like a more peaceful version of that job in a video game.
