I've never seen this, looks like a minesweeper knockoff. I spent way too much time in the Seaton Hall computer lab playing minesweeper.

I played a ton of minesweeper.  I actually played a game of minesweeper yesterday after seeing WW's weird pipe dream game.

I saw BRAD KORN talking about it on KORN'S KORNER a few weeks ago.  Guy seemed like he knew his way around a minesweeper board.  Pretty impressive.

Minesweeper is frustrating because it's pretty easy, but there are times when you just have to guess.  Very upsetting.
