Addicted

I am addicted to Minesweeper....again!!!!! I was addicted to this almost a decade back now I am slave to this again. Many of you migth not be aware what Minesweeper is. It is one of the games that comes along with your Windows along with FreeCell, Spade, etc. When I really used to play this game, I even see myself playing it in my dreams..hehehe and I was proud of my scores those days. My best times I could recall were:
Beginners level: 4 secs
Intermediate: 34 secs
Expert: 64 secs
I am not so proud of my current scores :(



Anyway, how the game goes depend on the number that appears. For instance, if there is 1, this means that there is one Mine that touches that number and if there is 4, it means that the No.4 touches 4 mines and that No. 4 will not touch more than 4 mines. This means that numbers that appear can share the mines or whatever it is.

The Red Flag indicated where Mines are or I believe where they are. Right clicking on the button will let you mark this Red Flag.
This pic shows when you clicked on the wrong button. I did this on purpose so as to show you all *wink*.


And this is what you will get when you completed the game.


To access this game, go to Start, the Program Files and then Games. If Games is in your Accessories, you will have to go to Accessories.

hey thanks for finally explaining how that game works... I was never able to figure it out! I just randomly clicked and those darned mines just kept blasting away! No wonder it was no fun for me :)

The one and only game I've installed is good old Zuma...and believe me, I'm one hell of a pro, hehe. My latest addiction is spider solitaire...:(
