I thought this thing is freakishly impressive and is really pushing the boundaries on what can be done with the PE. Anybody tried? Yes, it's a really well written program. I ran it on QPC2 and immediately got a smack from my wife for having the sound so high. Great sound effects (uses Wolfgang L.'s sound extensions)...the slap was very realistic! The version I tried got into difficulties if you deliberately played it so badly that the display in the left hand seven-segment LED went below -99, but that's me and my software destruction techniques! I don't like Minesweeper as a game, but Per has done a fantastic job and it really shows what can be achieved - pushing the boundaries as Marcel suggested.
