How to Install Minesweeper on Your Mac
If you’ve been a die-hard Apple fan since you first touched your keyboard, chances are you’ve never experienced the thrill of Minesweeper – one of two classics previously found on Microsoft’s Windows operating system. … If that’s true, or if you just miss the feeling of losing, after playing, after playing Minesweeper, don’t worry: it’s time for Macsweep.
Play Minesweeper on Mac
There are many ways to play Minesweeper on Mac, and many of them don’t even depend on your loyalty to the platform . For a reliable, improved Minesweeper experience that doesn’t look like someone coded it in a day, I recommend checking out ProximityMines .
While the full game costs $ 4, that’s usually what you’ll pay for the decent version of Minesweeper from the Mac App Store. You can find cheaper versions of the game, but they look like an exact copy of the Windows name or worse.
With ProximityMines, you get a game that doesn’t show a 32-bit warning when you upload it to High Sierra (unlike some of the other Minesweeper options you can find online). It also has a slightly more modern interface than the classic Minesweeper look, a loud “click” sound when you click on an unknown tile, and an unpleasant “hum” when you choose unsuccessfully.
Best of all, you can play the basic version of ProximityMines for as long as you want without paying a dime. If you are tired of challenges and demand more, you will have to pay for the full game to clear the mines of large levels. And if you find that 30 minutes at the basic level is all you need to satisfy your nostalgia cravings, you’re done – the cost of a burrito has been saved.
How about Minesweeper MMO?
I’d be a bad Minesweeper fan if I hadn’t also given some friendly feedback on A Few Billion Square Tiles , the multiplayer version of Minesweeper that makes you not clear more of a giant, random, endless board than everyone else playing. If you want to put your mine clearance skills to the test, try the free demo or spend $ 3 to buy it from the Mac App Store .
