minesweeper

What game would you consider to be the most played ever ? Solitaire ? Star Craft ? Wolfenstein ? Quake ? Hmmm, guess again! The oldest, and in the same time the most frequently installed game ever is Minesweeper.

If you don’t belive us, think about it for a couple of minutes : this game has been around since Windows 3.1, requires less concentration then solitaire, is small enought to hide when the boss shows up, and was wasting time long before the internet came out.

You know Popcap wished that Bejeweled had half the market penetration that Minesweeper has. And that’s why Minesweeper is the “most successful game ever“.
