This is a collection of Minesweeper games for the Macintosh computer from OS 6 to OS 9 and 1988-1999.

The most important game is Mines (1988), a minefield crossing game written by Daniel Griscom that inspired the programmers who wrote the Microsoft version. All the Mac versions here are ports of the Microsoft version except Hexmines (which started as a crossing game, inspired by Mines) and Trimines (which includes both styles of play, inspired by Hexmines).

The Macintosh had a 1 button mouse, so to flag or chord you need to press a key while you click. The Hexmines game called chording 'Superclick' and many Mac games copied the terminology. The more advanced games offer a choice of what key to press. About half of Mac minesweeper games require all mines to be flagged and all other squares opened to win, and several incorrectly copied the Expert level as 16x32 instead of 16x30.

Games were shared in Usenet chat groups by converting into BinHex code and posting the text result (we have decoded these). Another common method was archiving into a SIT or CPT file and emailing to a host, which was usually an university. SIT files can be opened by the StuffIt Expander program (version 5.5 and earlier) and CPT files can be opened using Compact Pro (version 1.5.2 or earlier), both of which are free online.

In order to play you will need a Mac or a free Emulator. For early monochrome games the best emulator is Mini vMac, for colour games and OS 6 to 7 use Basilisk II, and for OS 7.5 to 9 use Sheepskin.

  • PROBLEM: A Usenet user who reviewed minesweeper games in the 1990s mentioned 'Mine Field 1.3 by BugBytes' starting 1993-05-07: it had 7 levels and saved 1 highscore for each, was in colour, automatically opened first square, had the superclick and no obstacles. (This version was also sold as part of Ultra Mac-Games CDROM 2, 1995 by Walnut Creek.) Then on 1994-11-19 the user still listed this version but was excited to announce finding 'MineField Deluxe', listing all the features in the version offered here which is clearly by BugByte.

[edit]1992 - Hexmines


  • Ingemar Ragnemalm, Sweden
  • Version 2.04 2000-08-29 (.CPT archive)
  • Version 2.03 1997
  • Version 2.0 1995-06-10 (.CPT archive)
  • Read Me 2.0 1995-06-10 (.TXT archive)
  • Version 1.2 1992-12-20
  • Version 1.1 1992-07-03 (.SIT archive)
  • Version 1.0 1992-03-30 (.SIT archive)
  • Goal is to cross a hexagonal minefield from top left to bottom right corner
  • Game automatically opens first square.
  • Game saves 10 best highscores
  • Sound effects.
  • Flag by pressing a key (choice available) and clicking
  • Superclick - chord by clicking on a square
  • Version 1 - Single 20x21 square grid and no Timer, game asks for number of mines each time, goal is to cross the minefield, you can only move to a square next to one already opened ('walking').

  • Based on Mines (Griscom, 1988)
  • Version 2.0 and later crash OS 7.5.3 using Basilisk II emulator but work in Black & White on OS 6 in Mini vMac. Ingemar emailed this site 2014-01-02 and said, 'I was quite proud of version 2, which is purely hexagonal, including the playfield and even the window. However, that solution is not portable to OSX, and likely to break emulators.'
  • All versions have an About screen stating copyright 1990-1992 but hidden version info says v2.0 is 1991-1995, 2.03 is 1991-1997 with v2.04 having a creation date of 2000-08-29. Earliest known public reference is is June 1992. Ingemar notes, 'Hexmines was one of my first Mac games, written right after Bikaka (hexagonal Tetris) [...] having written a decent solution on how to access hexagonally sampled data. Bikaka was written in 1990 so it is likely that the first draft to Hexmines was also written then.'
  • Version 1.0 uses 4 bit colour (8), 1.1 uses 8 bit colours (256).
