Sokoban 30th anniversary 1982-2012

Without doubt, the most famous puzzle of all time is the Level 1 of the "Original" collection. But how many different versions have been made of this mythical puzzle? I have gathered here a total of 48 versions. However, it is likely that there will be more on platforms that I don't know. If you know any version that is not here, can you send me a PNG image and information about the game? Thank you very much. If I find new versions I will add to this post.
