Minesweeper game appeared in the 50s of the XX century, long before the Internet era, and immediately fascinated fans of Board games.
The puzzle develops spatial thinking, logic, and strategic planning. Despite its apparent simplicity, the game requires concentration and the use of analytical skills.
Game history
The original version of the game was a three-layer cardboard box. The bottom layer contained the image numbers and the Average min was protective — he was hiding the contents of cells. The top layer was made in the form of a field divided into cells with holes. The player punched through the middle layer of the cell with a special hammer and found a number or mine. The rules themselves were no different from modern ones - you had to clear the Board with hidden mines and prevent an "explosion". If a player managed to open the entire field without hitting a mine, he was awarded a prize. Instead of a holed game, the manufacturer sent a new one.
The first computer progenitor of "Minesweeper" can be considered a game "Cube", created by David Al. Soon after, in 1985, the game Relentless Logic was released, which ran under the MS-DOS operating system. But the worldwide recognition and popularity of "Minesweeper" received with the advent of Windows.
Interesting fact
The Minesweeper game was included in the Windows operating system to help users master the mouse and get used to the graphical interface. In the 80's, not everyone knew how to use a mouse.
