User reviews about Microsoft Minesweeper for Windows 10

by Anonymous

Minesweeper for Windows 8 is not as nice as the classic board.. The old, retro-style Minesweeper that we all know and love from Windows 98 is much nicer. If you have a computer that uses Windows XP or older, just copy the Minesweeper game from there. If you don't have Windows XP or older, download it from the internet.
