I did have fun for a short while playing with the custom dialog and making a huge level with the minimum amount of mines (this actually helped me understand how the game worked). I beat the beginner and intermediate difficulties fairly easily, but never had the patience to beat the expert level. When my curiosity was finally piqued, I read the help document and finally understood the game. I ignored the game for awhile because I kept triggering mines, not yet knowing what the numbers meant. The PC was a showroom floor model and it came with demo software including the first Entertainment Pack. Like Microsoft Solitaire Collection, version 4.x of Microsoft Minesweeper comes with a redesign that matches Windows 11 visual styles, along with a UI overhaul.I first played Minesweeper on my family's Packard Bell 386SX in 1991. NET and XAML (they have dependencies `.2.2` and `.2.2`). Version 4.x is a rewrite that brings it closer to the current (as of 2022) version of its cousin Microsoft Solitaire Collection. (Note that Metro apps follow the 'preferred languages' list, and not the 'Windows display language') The tile image is also changed to depict the garden theme. When the game is in Italian, Serbian, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese, 'modern theme' disappears, and only 'garden theme' is available. Version 4.x doesn't have a garden theme at all. Note: this section only applies to version (and possibly earlier). There is a sixth debug file, AdModuleDebug.xbf, stored in /Arkadium.Advertisement/View/.

xbf files containing data for a debug menu. Like the other Microsoft games developed by Arkadium, in /Common/DebugModule/ there are 5.
