If we talk about any impressive windows games, the status of minesweeping should be unshakable. This little game in the windows system menu, solitaire and freecell should be regarded as the honest childhood memories of poor friends. This year is the thirtieth anniversary of mine sweeping. On April 6th, 1992, the game was first installed on Windows 3.1.
This was originally used as windows The system bought a small game with one free and three free. The original purpose was just to help windows users get familiar with the combination of the right mouse button and the left mouse button. And another small game "Solitaire", which has the same status as "mine sweeping", is to make everyone familiar with how to use the mouse to drag and drop.
Unexpectedly, after playing Minesweeper and Solitaire for so many years, it turned out to be a "sugar coated shell" hidden in Microsoft's computer, which made users familiar with the basic operation of the mouse in the name of the game.
It is no wonder that after the Windows 8 system, Microsoft quietly deleted these games. It is estimated that Windows users no longer need to learn the basic operation of the mouse.
Although the game "minesweeping" has appeared for 30 years, there are still a large number of people on the Internet who miss this classic game. In 2006, in order to show off his achievements in mine clearance, Zhang AIGA, the first person in China, established a website called minesweeping. At the beginning of the design, the website had only a simple ranking system.
Players can upload their video of minesweeping to the website, and then review it manually to make a ranking statistics. The most interesting thing is that the ranking system has a two pole setting. It divides the ranking system into two lists, the divine world and the human world, with 60 seconds as the dividing line.
The player who ranks first in the list of the divine world is called Lei Di, followed by Lei Sheng, Lei Shen and Lei Xian; And the list of the human world is based on the number one scholar, the number two scholar, Tanhua and Tongsheng.
This website, founded in 2006, has gathered more and more friends from all over the world who love mine clearance in recent years. Gradually, the mine sweeping network has become the "spiritual home" of Chinese mine sweeping players from the simple player ranking at the beginning.
Until today in 2022, you can still see many active netizens in the minesweeping forum, sharing some of their experiences in playing games.
Although the classic game "minesweeping" is already a chicken rib for Microsoft, those players who grew up playing minesweeping have a vague feeling about this game.
In addition to missing this game on minesweeper.com, players also made some small innovations in playing methods and developed many derivative Minesweeper games ~ infinite minesweeper is a small online Minesweeper game website. After opening it, you will see a small Minesweeper interface.
The biggest difference between mine sweeping and ordinary mine sweeping is that mine sweeping of infinite minesweeper is an "open world" unlimited mine sweeping!
As long as you want to play, you can "always clear the mines and always enjoy" on this website. Of course, this unlimited minesweeping still has some basic restrictions on players. In the upper right corner of the website, there are three black hearts, which are equivalent to three lives of players. One life will be deducted if you hit a mine.
The game can also be set in different levels of difficulty. Although unlimited minesweeping only expands the map infinitely on the basis of minesweeping, the happiness obtained is also infinitely expanded on the original basis.
In addition to this website that can play unlimited minesweeping, in the wechat applet, there is a small game called minesweeping operation, which has made minesweeping a single game for 30 years into an online game.
In addition, there are two different ways of playing "world minefield" and "eating chicken".
"World minefield" is equivalent to a multiplayer online version of minesweeping. Each player can get 1 point by correctly opening a mineless grid, and 3 points will be deducted if he steps on a mine. The higher your score, the higher your ranking. After getting enough points, you can advance to the master area. The game in the master area will be more difficult, with more blocks and mines.
It's a wonderful feeling to watch a large group of people play together on the same map. Another "chicken eating" mode is a bit powerful. It can allow 99 players to mine online at the same time. After you complete the mine sweeping task of your own copy, you will break away from the poison circle, and the players who fail to complete the task within the specified time will be eliminated.
And "eat chicken" also adds a unique prop system, such as multiple artillery, radar, explosion-proof shield and so on. Players can "disgust" their opponents while advancing.
Sometimes, Shichao admires the developers of these wechat games. They can even "sprout from the old tree" on this old game that has been played by players for 30 years, and come up with some new methods that make people shine. In the application market, the derivative game of minesweeping has reached the point of hiding dragons and crouching tigers.
Poor friends have seen the 3D version of minesweeping. This game called 3D minesweeping puts the minesweeping map on a hexagonal space plane. At first glance, it looks like a magic cube. Players can mine on this cube, but the playing method is basically the same as that of the basic version~
However, the creativity of this "magic cube Minesweeper" on the map still amazes Shichao. In addition, there is a game called minesweeping F, which adds many elements of mobile games to minesweeping, such as achievement system, various skin and level system.
It is simply a minesweeper tour with full elements. The above minesweeping games hidden in the mobile application market have extremely high taptap scores, which are basically above 9 points. It can be seen that players still pay for the mine sweeping game, which has been played for 30 years.
Whether it's minesweeping or these small games based on minesweeping, everyone's attitude towards this classic game can only be described with true feelings.
Maybe when we play mine sweeping over and over again, we will all recall the simple pleasure of secretly playing mine sweeping without telling the teacher on the huge white computer in the summer of primary school, wearing shoe covers~
