Review
If you remember sitting at your Windows 98 computer, playing its in-built game, , then you'll probably have a little flutter when you spot the app available to download on Google Play.



If not, let me explain the rules. You are presented with a box of grey squares, which one by one, you have to uncover. The aim is to uncover all the free squares without hitting a mine.



To help you determine which squares are safe, and which are not, each time you press a free square, a series of numbers will appear. These numbers indicate where an adjacent mine is.

You can flag squares you think might have a mine, so that you don't accidentally tap it. This android version is the same as the original, and allows you to share your high scores online.

If you are adept at , then you can get addicted to playing, but if you are rubbish like me, then after losing half a dozen times, the game does start to get tiresome.
