Once you figure out how the game functions and beat all the difficulty levels, it quickly loses it appeal.Sadly, the Vista revamp eliminates the cute smiley face.This is more common in expert difficulty. You will eventually encounter a setup where pure logic can't help you, and you will be forced to guess on a square.

The Vista upgrade added a much needed graphical and audio boost the the game.This version of Minesweeper was built into Windows 3.1 all the way through Windows XP, and ever since Windows Vista in 2006, this version of the game was never seen again. The file was directly copyed from Windows XP and is entirly unmodified. The smiley face, which looks spooked when you click and dies when you hit a mine, is a nice addition. This is the original desktop game 'Minesweeper' built into Microsoft Windows 3.1 - XP.It's a pretty competent logic puzzle game.I own several versions of Windows, so I also own several versions of the game. However, that has caused me to lose interest in the game since the harder levels usually result in a handful of probability guesses. I have since figured out the logic behind the game better and can beat expert mode. I did have fun for a short while playing with the custom dialog and making a huge level with the minimum amount of mines (this actually helped me understand how the game worked). I beat the beginner and intermediate difficulties fairly easily, but never had the patience to beat the expert level. When my curiosity was finally piqued, I read the help document and finally understood the game. I ignored the game for awhile because I kept triggering mines, not yet knowing what the numbers meant.
The PC was a showroom floor model and it came with demo software including the first Entertainment Pack. I first played Minesweeper on my family's Packard Bell 386SX in 1991.
