Minesweeper
The rules are simple. Players must clear a grid of blank squares, under which some are hidden mines. Various squares will reveal a number on being clicked, denoting how many adjacent spaces contain a mine. Hit a mine and it’s game over. Clear the grid and you can reward yourself with a quick extra game.
Minesweeper as a digital entity began life in the 1960s and through the 1970s, when those experimenting with mainframe computing were establishing coding conventions, exploring interactive design and looking at ways in which humans could interface with computers. Look back 50 years, and you won’t find much that looks like Microsoft Minesweeper, yet pioneering programmers of the time were building games that set the foundation.
