Minesweeper - The Good One
Classic minesweeper, with no guess board generation, no ads, no in app purchases.
Minesweeper has its origins in the earliest mainframe games of the 1960s and 1970s. The earliest ancestor of Minesweeper was Jerimac Ratliff's Cube. The Microsoft version was created by Curt Johnson, originally for IBM's OS/2, and ported to Microsoft Windows by Robert Donner, both Microsoft employees at the time. First officially released as part of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack 1 in 1990, it was first included in the standard install of Windows 3.1 in 1992, replacing Reversi from Windows 3.0. Microsoft Minesweeper was included without major changes in all subsequent Windows releases until Windows Vista, at which time an updated version by Oberon Media replaced it. In Windows 8 and later the game is not included with a fresh Windows install, but Microsoft Studios has published an updated version of it, developed by Arkadium, on Microsoft Store.
All iterations are free.
So why should you pay for it, (or put up with ads) on Android?
I say you shouldn't.
So I've put my money (or lack thereof) where my mouth is, and built one.
Here you go.
