Mine Sweeper Pro is Kentaro Tanida's enhanced Macintosh take on the classic Minesweeper logic puzzle, released in 1996. It pushes the familiar grid well past the Windows defaults, with customizable board sizes up to 10,000 cells, color graphics, and stereo sound effects intended for late-90s Macs with sound output.
What's in the package
The Macintosh Garden distribution bundles version 1.0, the 2.0 beta covered by this entry, and an optional music files add-on. The 2.0 beta is the in-progress next major revision and ships alongside the stable 1.0 build for users who prefer to stay on the released version.
Gameplay
Play follows the standard Minesweeper rules: clear safe cells without detonating hidden mines, using numeric hints to deduce mine locations. Mine Sweeper Pro lets the player set arbitrary board dimensions and mine counts, scaling far beyond beginner, intermediate, and expert presets.
Author and era
Mine Sweeper Pro was written by Kentaro Tanida and is representative of the polished puzzle freeware that flourished on the Mac in the mid-1990s, when developers used color QuickDraw and Sound Manager to dress up classic logic games.
