#33 Bill,

You are probably right on that. My father suffered a head injury in WW II. As a result, he has a seizure disorder. Flickering/flashing lights can trigger a seizure for him. Looking at it that way, the warning makes sense.

brillkiant software, workes well, quick loading, fast, works on direct x and open GL
good graphics
good environment
Good game
Well done GOTD

Re: #31 JEG: LMAO! A little joke from the developer maybe? :D
Either that or what BillW suggested, suppose it's possible? Litigious times have led to ridiculous warning messages. My hair dryer has a permanent plasticized tag that says: "Do not use while bathing or showering" (well duh!) and "Do not use while sleeping" (how would I even do that?).

Didn't see that EULA though, skipped today's download. My first reaction was to think "Microsoft's snorefest Minesweeper, now in 3D." ZZzzz...

Um who buys these games? For 14 bucks I would go and buy one of those repuplished "classic" games that are all the rage nowadays, *yawn* awaiting creative, original game giveaway.
Soz GGAOTW but I shall pass

Installs clean; looks great; fun twist on an old favorite. Thanks guys.

Whiners: If you don't like it just move on - give the rest of us a break.

Okay, so after a quick game, the gameplay is exactly the same, so if you like minesweeper, you'll like this. I must admit I jumped when I hit a mine, because I wasn't expecting an explosion. It made me chuckle, which in my mind is at least worth a play.

I don't bother to download this one because I never love minesweeper. The last time I play minesweeper is last year or earlier and it wasn't longer than a minute.

It's a nice idea to turn such a classic Microsoft game into a 3D version to suit with the new era of gaming, where gamers care about graphics as much as gameplay.

The gameplay still the same though, which is not good.

Thums up.

I'm going to give it a try, because it is from the same folks who made Astro Menace, which, by the way, ROCKS! If I don't like it, I'll play Astro Menace some more. Thanks GGOTD!

thumbs way down on this one. The original is better, its out of focus, and makes you zoom out to see full screen. Make more games like Mad Magic or Master of Defense- They are great games.

ut oh.......I don't know if I should say thanks GOTD.

I downloaded it. Showed the kids and there goes my computer lol. I only just managed to get it back long enough to say they loved it.

Okay, I'll say it! Thanks GOTD!!!

Kim,
looks like you forgot to activate the game - please, carefully read the instructions which you can find in readme.txt file (readme.txt is enclosed with all our downloads).

I went and downloaded and installed this game but it wasn't a free version just a trial and it still had 8 hours and 27 minutes left. Frustrating!

LAME

You can tell the developer is desperate or the game is simple when:

As soon as you start the game, you can see the menu with its dynamic background rendered by the game core.

Thankfully for this game, it's because it's simple. But really, putting things like this doesn't look good on you, ViewWizard. If the game is simple, just keep the description simple, and don't try to make it sound so special. Trust me, some people like it that way, and it's these kinds of people you're looking for for a game like this. :>

I downloaded KeyWord yesterday and played it for quite some time. Today it won't load or play. I get a popup window that says

FATAL ERROR: Invalid Command Line Param: Files\Keywords\Keywords.exe

Can anyone tell me why the game worked yesterday but won't work today? I liked it very much.

Pretty lame. Installed it. Played it. Yawn. Whoever paid $15 for this got ripped.

hts

all i have to say is LOL! minesweeper 3d well at least will be more interesting to play like it's better looking but anyway i always su**** at this game :S

Only played Minesweeper 30min in 20years main reason "old windows 95 computer at school!"

Well, it's a nice game, but it is exactly the same as minesweeper, just some graphical effects and that's it..
Well, it did look kind of cool i must say...

cool il just download this and delete the old minesweper

#30 JEG... It sounds like a warning for those who can get seizures from flashing video images to me.

I wasn't interested in yesterday's game, so I didn't read the comments section. However, whiterabbit's comments above made me go there to see what had been written by #58. You can't possibly judge how people are raising their kids solely from the comments section on one website.

I don't like minesweeper, so I'm giving this one a pass also. If I hadn't made the decision before I read any comments, comment #30 would keep me from downloading it.

Of all the 'L-As' I've read I never came across one quite like this!!
I'm not sure what to make of it.???
[warnings,-yes...but this?,..-Never.] :[

Much too simple game and complicated small graphics.
I am a big fan of Minesweeper and I have very nice records in Windows. But this is just horrible. It gives you a couple more options, but much too crowded graphics.
This is some kid's project. It shouldn't be for sale. I have played with other programs in the same manner.

#20 id rather buy a pizza and have $15 left over than to get this game

Great game, in a scale of 1-100 I give it a 99.5.

Love the old mine game, so in a scale of 1-100 I give it 99.5!

I am sorry but I'll have to give this one a thumbs down. Sometimes "innovation" is not called for in a traditional game. Most of the additions are just cosmetic and add nothing to the enjoyment I get while playing the regular minesweeper game. The "great" 3d environment is a bland field. Add in some elements of a back story or fill me with some sense of urgency in completing the task rather than beating my own time(i get that with the regular minesweeper). As one commenter said it felt to dressed up and just didn't deliver. The key for this game should not have only been to attract those who play minesweeper (and believe it or not it is a huge community, do a Google search if you don't believe) but to attract those who can't even locate it on their computers even though its been around since Windows 3.1

I hope the developers take note and try again.

Thank you very very very much!! I have spend hundreds of hours on the classic game and this was a challenge:-)Looking forward to many many many new hours .

Hey, great-looking giveaway, guys. Now all we need is a 3D version of Windows Solitaire! Oops! Done already. And free, too.

http://big3dsol.sourceforge.net

Are there any real game creators left anywhere in the world? All I ever see are new twists on old game ideas. You need to build a better mousetrap, not a better-looking mousetrap. (New twist on an old cliche.)

Thanks for the effort.

I LIKE TO GET A BATTLESHIP GAME

Nice update but just not my kind of game. My son feels its to dressed up for such a simple game -- it looked like it would be more exciting than it was. Thank you for letting us try it.

good game.minesweeper made more interesting.7 out of ten

#17 - "i dont see why people would pay $14 for a game thats free with XP"

If I had $20, I'd rather buy this game and a pizza - than spend $20 on a program that sets my PC Clock (instead of just having XP automatically manage the clock for me).

PS sorry for the seemingly rude reply above; however I had reply to the post the commenter made yesterday as it was an insulting comment directed at myself and others who happened consider educational games a useful tool in aiding their education. (however not the be all and end all to education). :) I don't mean to single you out, but you've done this on both comments sections yesterday; making assumptions as to how we bring our children up. :(

This is a nice take on an old game. Well worth having installed on the computer, especially as it has several new functions that the original didn't have, that enhance the gameplay.

The options menu gives you a lot of scope to change the basic parameters such as the number of mines as well as new features such as the type of mine, of which there are 3. You can also select from 5 different playing area shape's as well as select the size of the playing area up to a 40 x40 grid and choose cell options from triangles, circles, rectangles, rhomboids and a few other shapes.

Thank you Viewizard and the GGAotD team for a rejuvenated minesweeper.
It'll definitely fill in those moments in between fighting on the battlefield and overseeing my childrens education.

(Just in case Pantaloon, comment #58 yesterday, missed the replies to her rude and presumptious comment yesterday; you'll find at least three retorts that are far more informed than you seem to be, lol)

A bit avarage is you ask me.....the windowed mode is the same as full screen and i dont see why people would pay $14 for a game thats free with XP

i hate minesweeper its so hard so i think ill not like it (lol)

it is so hard thats good for sector bombs

I love Minesweeper, so I think I'll like this..

It's just a minesweeper in 3D. Nothing else. No new ideas.

Hmmm...Interesting
Just scrapes it in with me.

Nice looking game but I hate minesweeper!

I like this updated version of the old favorite, Minesweeper!

It installed faultlessly, as usual. The graphics are engaging; I have a feeling the gameplay is going to be even more fun than its predecessor.

Creative and well done, Viewizard Team. You've really perked up this game; I'll look forward to trying it again later today.

Another terrific offering, Giveaway Team! Thank You!

Never really cared for this game but the graphics makes playing it a tab bit funner.I'll Give This A 4.

nice game. have not played minesweeper in years. many thanks.

This game works in Vista BUT you have to set the game to run in compatibility mode. Ran it as XP with sp2 and it ran fine.

As for the game, it is minesweeper with some graphics and music.

Fantastic. Keep up good work.

Nice 3d version of this classical game. But you have to like the classical game. So in a scale from 0-10 I give the program 7 points.

by the looks of it... 3d version of minesweeper?

Cool game, better than the old windows mines.
