Mines

Before there was Minesweeper, there was Landmine, and before that Relentless Logic, both games more or less the same, except for the graphics mode. In these game, you have to cross a minefield diagonally from the top left to the bottom right. You will get text messages when you are near mines, telling you the number, but there is no display on the map. If you want to play it seriously, you will have to map it out yourself on paper.

Mines gives you exactly the same task: find a passage from the top left to the bottom right corner, but it gives you the advanced interface of Minesweeper. The number of vicinous mines is displayed on the map, and safe spaces are opened up automatically when you enter them. Of course you cannot click on just any tile, that's what the footprint cursor is for. You can cross open spaces immediately, but have to take the covered tiles one by one.
