In the multiples of 5 levels, there are treasure chests which worth vastly more than all the other treasure, making it relatively pointless to waste dynamite on other levels getting at the much less valuable treasure. So long as you don't waste what you pick up in the intervening four levels, you have more than enough to keep going indefinitely (I typically use 5/6 dynamites and 1/2 maps in the tricky levels). where the level number is a multiple of 5) has so many traps that you'll need to use some of your axes/dynamite/maps to get through unscathed. Four out of every five levels can be completed using logical deduction only to find the way through to the exit (you don't need to guess or use pick axes/dynamite/maps). After playing on for a bit (up to level 131 now) it seems that the levels just go through a fairly repetitive cycle. Still, it can't hurt to give it a whirl.I'll answer my own question. It's a big improvement on the original Minesweeper concept, but there isn't much in the way of staying power. There is no end to this journey the only real goal is to see how far you can go and how much booty you can gather. Your game is over, and your high score is recorded. They'll trade powerups for some of your loot, but beware: the shops aren't found that often.Įventually, your adventurer will trip one trap too many, and collapse on the ground. At the end of some levels, you'll also encounter a mummy shopkeeper. Pickaxes and dynamite allow you to smash through walls, and arrows provide you with a way to defeat the monsters lurking in the depths. Map fragments can be used to show where nearby traps are located.
Making things more interesting, there are now various powerups for you to use. By watching for patterns in these numbers, you can work your way around the traps, collect the treasure, and continue deeper within the caverns. Places where no numbers appear harbor no dangers, while a one or more indicates that there's a trap nearby.
The trick to doing this lies on the floor - just like in the original Minesweeper, spaces display a number indicating how many traps are in the adjacent spaces. Hidden in the walls of the dungeons are various traps you'll need to avoid. Now there's a reason to click through those many dangerous squares - treasure lies among the rocks, just waiting for your adventurer to run over and collect it! But, this wouldn't be much of an adventure without some peril. Fortunately, Microsoft has spruced it up, recreating the classic game as Microsoft Treasure Hunt. Still, it's really not something most of us would spend time playing. It was a simple game simple enough that many other games implemented their own copy as a minigame.
Until recently, every copy of Microsoft Windows came with a little game called Minesweeper.
