Minesweeper

Minesweeper a game for the 90s babies. And we had no idea what to do in this damn game.

I would click buttons and 1 out of 65 I would somehow win, and even then I had no idea how I won. I had know idea how I lost either.

When I thought I was finally understanding the game, I still didn't,

Minesweeper despite being a flawed game, It's still part of a prestigious era that only 90 babies maybe 80s can appreciate.

Last Words: Long live the evil bomboking.

Over the years I've played Microsoft games like Freecell and Solitaire but if there's a game I usually skip, it's this game.

First of all it's random and second, you can easily screw up the game by accidently clicking on a mine and it's instant game over. Also even when you win the game or adjust the difficulty and win a level it gets old and boring very quickly. Skip this Microsoft game and play Age of Empires 1 and 2 those games are worth your time.

I gotta admit, i never knew hoe to play this, for years. I would try again and again, just to blow up after a few clicks. It took me until i watched Simpleflips played Minesweeper 64 (a ROM Hack of Super Mario 64) that it clicked in my Head. Since then i have won many Games of Minesweeper, and i still play it every now and then. When you know how to do it, it can be pretty fun.

I can't believe I found this here on IMDB. I remember going to my Mom's work and playing this for hours. Back in 1997 when you were 8 years old and poor, (because you were 8), you may not have had a Gameboy, or a Gamegear. This is what there was to do when she was doing paperwork, remember that too? A pile of papers, so this was it on a work computer. Yea. The game goes like this. You are surrounded by mines in this digital minefield and need to find and flag all of them. Won't spoil it for you, but if you don't already know you are probably a Z and perhaps never will.

I was automatically upgraded to a new version of Minesweeper and this does not work!! I was NOT given a choice about upgrading, and I was happy with the previous version. When you use a bomb, the numbers no longer display correctly. Examples: A corner should have a 1, but it had a 3. Another corner had a 2. A 2 was pointing to 3 flags. There was a 4 next to a 1, which created an impossible situation that could not be resolved.

I opened a ticket and asked Microsoft how to go back to the previous version but never received a reply. This is so disappointing because this used to be one of my favorite games.

This new version needs to be fixed before it is usable.
