It seems that the guys from Motelsoft liked Ishido a lot, for they created two clones for the Atari ST in the same year, Soko and Drops. Four years later, they'd re-create it as Stones for the PC. Drops leans very close to the Egyptian tileset of the original Ishido. Unlike Soko, there are no alternate boards or tilesets to choose from, but on the whole the graphics are nicer.

- Motelsoft has an extensive website with as much detail about
their old games as they could still dig out. The site is in German
only and uses frames, but navigation should not be too difficult:
just select
Download Atari
from the JavaScript menu, and click onDrops
when you're there.
