Title
Little known fact: Did you know that the first Sokoban, for the PC-88 computers, had 20 levels, but ALSO had pitfalls in the form of fake walls? The levels 1-10 are levels that would later be immitated in many later ports(such as the MSX and DOS ones), but levels 11-20 are... unique.

For some strange reason, these 11-20 levels will at first glance seem impossible to beat. But, if you push against some certain walls(usually nestled right next to boxes, but you have to push them), you can uncover that they are fake, and would leave precious empty space in its way, which is essential and key for beating all of the latter levels. This is a weird and mysterious catch that has never appeared in any Sokoban game since, and in retrospect it is such a very odd and fraudulent design decision to a game concept that is already genius in its own right.

I'm giving a 4.5 to Sokoban as a concept: Because the hardest kind of game to make is a good puzzle game and has been bested in other ports since, but the original PC-88 release has poor handling of its incubated idea, as is want in many frustrating and cryptic old Japanese games. For this reason the levels 11-20 have never appeared in any other port since.
