Okay, that much is fine, though being without the smilie face is a knock.<\/p>\n<p>Mine field difficulties are about the same. When you hit a mine, it shows them all like normal and then they all explode, heh. And then what happens? You have the option of restarting the exact same mine field! Weird.<\/p>\n<p>And apparently you can save your game.<\/p>\n<p>They ditched the high score board more or less.<\/p>\n<p>And there seems to be an option of changing the mode of the game from Minesweeper to something called Flower Garden. Flowers instead of mines?! Oy.<\/p>\n<p>And Sevens and Eights are kind of a maroon color. I think.<\/p>\n<p>Vista Minesweeper confuses and angers me!<\/p>\n<p>Or maybe it was just me being a n00b with the touchpad mouse cursor.
