We've probably nearly all attempted a minesweeper game in our time. It is one of the standard games that is usually loaded onto your PC when you get it - along with the other favourite, solitaire.

The other reason is that it's kind of fun! This is the second episode in my bored workers saga - things that workers do in their breaks, or things we do to pass the time at home. We've already dealt with the epic Solitaire (ok, maybe not epic - infamous would be better!), now it's time to move on to it's less acknowledged cousin - Minesweeper. - Now what's he jabbering on about? Minesweeper is a strategy game in the purest sense of ...  Read the complete review

Minesweeper is a computer game first made popular through it's release to the Windows 3.1 operating system in 1992. Since it's initial release to the Windows platform, it has been included in every major system distribution and has become a staple to the Windows game bundle.
