1464, I retire!
Posted by Odrirg on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Just got 97 seconds on expert minesweeper.

No clue how it happened. Just everything clicked.

Now I don't think I can ever play again, because I'll never do that good again, heh.


Well. Actually. I probably will. I tend to minesweeper while sleeping for mv's on my newbies. So I play alot when I am cf'ing.

Post your best times!

I think I pulled a 5 on beginner once, 38 intermediate, 93 expert. Google minesweeper records sometime, you'll be amazed at how fast some people apparently are.

heh, I saw some of those youtube vids. some of those "35 minute expert" videos are using cheats that I've known of.

but some of them....whew.

I hope to god I am never that good at minesweeper. That's the kind of thing you have to answer for at the pearly gates, "You spent how long becoming how good at a mindless computer game instead of taking care of your fellow man?"

Easy - 6 Seconds
Intermediate - 42 Seconds
Expert - 138 Seconds.

And I thought these were good, jeezuz, 93 seconds??

I know. 93 is insane.

I was at 152 for a number of months.

Then out of nowhere, while waiting for repop in arial city actually, I got 127. That stayed my record for over a year.

Then I hit 122. That was for another really long time.


then this insane jump to 93. I honestly have no clue how it happened. I've played a few games since I hit 93, and can't get anything better than 147...even trying as hard as I can to go fast.
1469, You'll just need to make a harder minesweeper

Using the custom settings, that is. My father plays minesweeper with his own custom settings when he plays it.

I wish I'd written them down. My high scores tend to get erased whenever I switch computers or reinstall windows. Now I'm going to have to play again just to see how fast I can finish expert.
