A grey rectangular playing field with 64 squares, red flags and 16 hidden mines: That's all a cult game needs. "Minesweeper" is one of those games that every computer owner has tried out before. The principle is as simple as the graphics: The goal is to uncover all fields without hitting a mine. "Minesweeper" is included in all versions of the operating system since Windows 3. 1. The basic game principle had existed before, but Microsoft made it popular with "Minesweeper". In 1992 it was something very special: a game you only had to call up without installing anything. Together with the "solitaire" integrated in Windows 3. 1, "Minesweeper" developed into a time waster.

One second to the target

Imagine that the Snake game used to be one of the most played computer games. Our fathers and grandfathers played very enthusiastically with it. It is a game that is assigned to the skill game genre. Such games require very good fine motor skills and pronounced reaction skills from players. For me personally, this is only half the truth. Pressing buttons quickly and at the right moment is certainly not so easy, but very easy to do when the hunted object is in close proximity. It looks a little different when it's not. This calls for other skills such as spatial perception or the selection of the best possible target path. This also increases the demands a player has to make for this game. Snake is an excellent example of this, although it is such a spartanly designed game with equally simple rules, but the challenge can be very challenging and very attractive to the player. This is where the well-known saying comes into play: "Not all that glitters is gold";. There are many examples of this. If you think of Tetris or Mahjong, they are classics whose presentation is limited to the bare essentials, the rules of the game are easy to understand, and probably that's why they are still very popular today and are played with pleasure.
