Minesweeper is a free game that comes bundled with operating systems Windows 95 and later. It is installed every time you install Windows, unless you're on a school or company computer where the administrator has removed it! It is very addictive, but hard to pick up. Once you've worked out how it works, you will find it very enjoyable! Before you become an advanced player it will have thinking about every move, but once you are the advanced stage you will be clicking and clearing cells quickly. The more you play, you end up getting used to the patterns in numbers that appear but there is always still the case of having to choose a correct move, because you are ...  Read the complete review

I have never understood this little free game that comes with every PC I have ever used, so let me look it up! OK, you have to clear a minefield by clicking on boxes ina grid of squares.

I just don't possess the logic needed to complete it, despite reading about an aspergers boy who did ...  Read the complete review

Minesweeper is a 2D strategy game in which a grid is displayed, the aim being to unconver the entire board, without accidentally clicking on a "mine" which will end the game. Clicking a square will reveal a number underneath, 1-4. The number denotes the amount of mines that immediately surround the square, above, below, left right and diagonals. (See accompanying image.) If the player successfully manages to complete the game, (i.e uncovering all the squares without clicking any mines,) the positions of the mines will be revealed as red flags, and the reset button (a face) will reward you with a cheeky grin. The game's ...  Read the complete review

Minesweeper is the classic game that is part of all modern windows systems. It is amazing how frustrating and addicting such a simple concept can be and this is one of many properties that has made it a massive hit. ~~ Location ~~ On all windows systems (I'm presuming you have an update that is at least as modern as Windows 98) you go through the start menu: accessories: games: minesweeper.

The tricky part is that their are a set number of square which ...  Read the complete review
