(Correction; this game does not have a multiplayer mode, as the "TYPE" option in its service mode cannot be changed from "C (UPRIGHT)", and if you insert more than one coin into it, the text on its start screen does not change from "PLEASE PUSH 1 PLAYER BUTTON")

'''Soukoban Deluxe''' (倉庫番 デラックス, lit.: ''Sōkoban Derakkusu''), which was released as '''Boxy Boy''' in the United States (and having no direct relation to the [[TurboGrafx-16]] game of "Boxyboy", released in Japan as [[Soukoban World]]), is a [[puzzle]] arcade game that was released by [[Namco]] in [[1990]]. It runs on the company's System 1 hardware, and is a graphically enhanced implementation of the then-8-year-old Japanese puzzle game phenomenon; it is also the first (and so far only) version of Soukoban that was officially released in arcades. While it features all the rules of the original Soukoban, it also has a timer that determines how long you will have to clear the current round before you are "kicked off" the cabinet - and even if you decide that you have to start the round over, the timer is not reset. If you run out of time, you can insert another coin to continue the round with a full timer; there are fifty-five in all.

Soukoban Deluxe (倉庫番・デラックス lit. Sōkoban Derakkusu), which was released as Boxy Boy in the United States (and having no direct relation to the TurboGrafx-16 game "Boxyboy", released in Japan as Soukoban World), is a puzzle arcade game, which was released by Namco in 1990; it runs upon that company's System 1 hardware, and is a graphically enhanced implementation of the then-8-year-old Japanese puzzle game phenomenon. It is the first (and, so far, only) version of Soukoban that was officially released for arcades - and while it features all the rules of the original Soukoban, it also has a timer that determines how long you have to finish the current round before you are kicked off the cabinet (and even if you decide that you have to start the round over, the timer is not reset). If you run out of time, you can insert another coin to continue the round with a full timer; there are fifty-five rounds in all, and if you finish one in less than its best amount of steps, you will receive a bonus.
