Name of Game:
MINE
Game Objective:
You are presented with a grid of varying dimensions (9x9, 16x16 and 17x25) depending on which level of difficulty you
select. Each box on the grid is empty, contains a number underneath it, or is one of the mines. Your objective is to
correctly identify all of the mines with a flag and reveal all the numbered or empty spots on the board within the
shortest time possible. If you click on a mine box, the game is over and you lose
.
Game Instructions
:
First screen: Use the Up or Down arrow on the Direction pad to start a new game or view
the high scores for this game. Press the A-button to confirm or press the B-button to
return to the first screen. Select a difficulty: Easy - 9x9 grid, Normal - 16x16 grid, or Hard -
17x25 grid.
The first move you make is completely random. Use the Direction pad to move the cursor
over a box. Press the A-button to open the box. If a mine appears, the game is over.
If a number appears, this will indicate how many nearby mines are surrounding that box.
For example, if the number revealed is a 2, there are mines in 2 neighboring boxes.
Example:
Figure 1
Figure 2
Since there is only one neighboring box connected to both of the 1’s, you know where that bomb is located. In Figure 2, we know
that the box directly above the number 4 is not a bomb, since we have already located a bomb in a box that touches both of the 1’s.
We also know that all three boxes to the right of 4 contain bombs. Notice that all of the requirements are met for the 1’s, the 4, and
the 2 beneath the number 4. Based on what we know so far, we cannot determine which of the boxes above the 2 (in the upper
portion of the grid) contains a bomb.
Once you reveal enough numbers, you should be able to narrow down which boxes contain mines. Press the B-button to place a
flag down on a square to indicate that there is a mine under that box. Pressing the B-button again puts a question mark on the box
to indicate you are not sure what is underneath it. Pressing it once more clears the question mark. Place a flag over the boxes you
believe to be mines.
Try to solve the grids as quickly as you can to achieve the best record. Good luck!
