So, I've decided to quit trying to give up a Minesweeper addiction I have (:sad:), and have scaled down my games from huge custom epic games to Beginner, Intermediate and Expert games.

Here's the result of my latest game:

And here's my top scores:

Anyone got anything better?

Oh, forgot to say, I use XP, not Vista, so I don't have any of those save/reload options, neither.

Well, I stink at Minesweeper, so those look great to me! But you can always look at a video of the pros, too:

Hmm, pretty good.
I'll have to restart my older computer to be sure (yes, I WAS addicted once), but if memory serves I had 46 seconds at intermediate and in the 130 range at expert.

The video of the world record was awesome, too. Thanks Sulla, Youtube never ceases to amaze me.

Ah, I had 4 seconds on beginner once, but it was on my old laptop. Now I am going to have to play. It is an easy game to get hooked on.

I haven't played a lot on this computer:

My best times at home are still not that good; 8/42/127 I think.

Cheating:
Type xyzzy and then hold shift. Now look at the top left pixel of your monitor. White: No mine, black: mine

Or while you are at it, why not just go to regedit, find the scores (don't remember exactly where; try searching for "minesweeper" or "winmine") and set them to 0 or 1 seconds? Doesn't work on Vista but on XP it should. On Windows 2000 just press esc to stop the clock (wtf kind of a glitch is that?)

I haven't played much Minesweeper on this computer. I have 10 seconds on beginner and 84 on intermediate, but haven't finished a difficult one on it. I used to have some pretty awesome scores.

One day, I hope to get one of those one-click win games, on beginner. :)

My scores on this computer are pretty horrible - haven't even won on expert apparently. And my overall ones aren't that great, but for a non-addict I think are respectable:

Beginner - 5 seconds
Intermediate - 68-72 second range
Expert - 270 some seconds

Some of those might be Windows 98. The Beginner one is almost certainly XP, though. 98 is different in that Beginner is 8x8 instead of 9x9 - and thus slightly more difficult, as the number of mines per square is equal to on Intermediate as opposed to slightly lower on XP. Otherwise I think it's identical though.

I was quite excited when I got that 5 second score a few months ago! I'd been on 6 seconds for quite some time!
