Minesweeper cheats!

(1/2) > >>

Ok.. Everybody has already played Minesweeper, right?
It's been in Windows since 3.1 and i bet everybody has had a go at it.
It's a very basic game, and sometimes is based in luck. Well... Not anymore!

-After starting the game, type xyzzy and press Shift and Enter at the same time.
-Move the mouse over the playing area and keep your eye on the upper left corner of the Windows desktop.
-A white pixel will appear when the mouse pointer is over a safe square, and turn dark when the mouse is over a mine.

I think that's the weirdest cheats i've ever seen, still, it does work, and i'd love to talk to the man who had the idea of including this on the program!  ;D ;D

Taken from: http://www.helpero.com/top/Helpero This site actually looks pretty good too.

It's an old-old-old-old cheat - I think it's been in there since forever. The word has been used in other places as well, mostly in old software - can't think of any titles right now, but I'm sure google will flood you :)

Hm, I don't think the site looks good - it reminds me too much of the pages that domain squatters put up >_<

is the flight simulator easter egg in the new excel?

Hirudin:
Heh, sweet. I like a good game of minesweeper every now and then, but it drives me crazy when I have to randomly click a square because there's no way to tell if there's a mine there or not... Thanks!

mouser:
bah you are all doing it wrong.
the proper way to play is described here:
