lately, i have become dangerously addicted to this game. so addicted, that i would like to look into one of the stupid little handheld thingys. so i ask.

do they make them?
how much?
where?

I've never seen one for minesweeper.
Do you play with custom maxed size and mines like me?

Is your first click always the same? Mine is; top left corner followed by the bottom left corner if I don't like what I get on the top LOL.

How do you even play that game?

i still play with the expert preset

also, sometimes i hit corners, usually i just go random till i hit an open area

Easily. its not difficult at all and, more importantly, a great time waster.
Spider solitaire is goo also!

I use to play it at work until they took the games off of our computers. Now I just stay on BC all day

Hehehe - they missed ONE pc here

click "start" "run" and type "winmine" in the command prompt

trick always works for me in college

solitare is "sol"

I don't know about a hand-held one, but I have an old, faithful laptop (486x75) compaq that my wife'* been nagging me to post on e-bay. Yes, it works and yes, it has minesweeper! Oh, only the battery doesn't work, but I have new cells to replace those in the dead battery.

Anyhow, it runs Windows 3.11.

I'll let it go real cheap. Probably for the cost of a hand-held almost-anything. Shipping will cost some coin, though.

Oh, I have a spare laptop (same model) to include with the deal!

I can't do that at work because if the company finds anything on our computers that they didn't put there the agent will get fined $400 plus the cost of a technician coming out to remove it and would get written up also, not worth it! Thanks anyways!!!
