Arcade Minesweeper is a derision of the popular game that is included with Windows with a twist. It includes enhanced graphics and sound that make it stand out among minesweeper clones.

At its core are 3 levels from beginner to advanced. The levels progress from amazingly simple to exceedingly hard. Once you have mastered these levels, you are ready for one of the many themed levels, based on famous wars fought through the ages. The wars range from the Korean Border Conflict to Hitler’s Reign in WWII. You must diffuse the bombs and save the world-- or just try to get a high score and win one of the monthly prizes. That’s right. You can upload your scores and compete with others to try to win some of VCW’s other fabulous software. Prizes are given away monthly.

Overall, Arcade Minesweeper can draw you away from your work for a few minutes and give you much needed breather. If a game can do that, it is well worth the download. Go ahead and give it a try today.
