Minesweeper (Video Game)

Minesweeper is a computer game. Originating around the 1960s, the object is to clear of every square on the board that does not cover a mine. If the player uncovers a mine, he loses.

There are three options: 10 mines, 40 mines, or 99 mines.

In Windows operating systems, Minesweeper was included as a default program, until it was removed in Windows 7. However, a metro app from the Windows Store remained available for free download.
