I loved minesweeper but I can't stand how eventually you have to guess.

I’ve been laughing at how your channel has gone from a Doom channel to a Minesweeper channel. What started as an April Fools Day joke by you has become your life.

No one's gonna watch you play minesweeper dude. Always wondered why this crap and solitaire were the two games added by default to a Windows machine. They chose the two most boring games they could think of. Couldn't they at least have gotten Tetris?

 

[Travis Alexander]

Never understood how to play minesweeper…. Nor did I ever really care to.

My record on the smallest field was 6 seconds.
39 on the middle.
119 or smth on the largest.

Boy, oh, boy, did I waste some time on minesweeper.

it was no Oregon Trail that's for sure

Jezzball, minesweeper, and hearts. Loved that Microsoft games package back in the day

I haven't played it in years, but it definitely got me through plenty hours at work. I was slow as shit at it but it's satisfying to play

There was actually some logic behind it.

Back then many people were getting their first PC and a lot of them had never used a mouse before.

So they included these particular games because they're like mouse training. In minesweeper you develop the skill of clicking on small squares, and differentiating right and left button clicks.

In solitaire you got to practice holding down the left button and dragging things around the screen.

A mouse seems pretty intuitive for those of us that grew up with computers. But I remember showing my grandma how to use the computer and it was painful because it took several tries to click on the little x to close the window.

Minesweeper is way more fun than Solitaire. Come on.

Yo what aboot dat adventure game where u was a n had to trap all dem and eat ting was lit fam forgot what Bill Gates named it tho mans tryna play

 

[Sweater of AV]

It's hard to believe it's been around 30 years since I played that shit. A buddy of mine had a boring desk job and got addicted to it. He played in some tournaments and did reasonably well lol.

 

[HereticBD]

It always baffled at how so many people couldn't figure out how to play it. There are 4x Strategy Game masters out there, who still struggle with the concept of Minesweeper.

Ski free was always more fun than minesweeper for me, the sense of adventure and freedom plus the horror of the Yeti...

But what about Scorched Earth? Anyone?

 

[Batjester]

I will still play it.

Yes, I'm old.

 

[boingyman]

I use to be pretty good at it. I have it on my phone, but i can't play as fast compared to a computer and mouse. Plus fat fingers causes me to press the wrong block sometimes. I can blow through the hardest level pretty quick still.

Holy fuck I was just thinking about that skiing game yesterday. Honestly don't think a computer I owned ever had it. Was that Windows 95? The first computer I ever owned was Windows ME. (Had that computer from 2000 - 2009!)
