Minesweeper:right
We are happy to present a Minesweeper port in Double LORES for the Apple //e and IIgs. The perfect port was done by Daniel Henderson using the Magic Pixels library by Roby Sherman and runs on real wood as also in most emulators.

There are two versions available. The first version is a compiled AppleSoft program that was done with TASC and shows good performance under 1 MHz system speed. The second version is the original AppleSoft version which runs also nicely in native speed.

There are three levels of increasing difficulty to master to be rewarded a special winning screen at the end!

Controls

The game is controlled via keyboard only. On startup of the game you can change the keyboard commands to your needs.

Known Bugs & Limitations:

  • As version two runs on every system we are sad to remark that version one does not work properly under Virtual II emulation. So Minesweeper can only be enjoyed in the standard AppleSoft version with Virtual II!
