Okay, I'm a dork. I admit it. I play "Minesweeper" while I wait for video and/or audio files to download on my pathetic dial-up.
Anyway, my "best scores" are pretty damn good, I must say:
- Beginner: 10 seconds
- Intermediate: 142 seconds
- Expert: 499 seconds
Now, I'm sure I could beat any one of those scores if I really tried my hardest. But I haven't. Yet.
What are the best scores YOU have achieved? Please let me know, so that I may have a goal the next time Mr. Barger sends me a multi-meg link... ;)

The trick for the higher levels is to go for all four corners right off and then a couple random places in the middle to open up the board a little.
Gives a good jump on it, and if you die not much time is lost.

Well, this is too scary. I completely suck at this game. I tried it, and I could look at that little box for two days and still hit one of those things before I've cleared the area...I guess I need a tutor! (Good thing I'm not the driver of one for real...lol)

Good topic, RJ.
I don't remember my scores, but I was pretty kick-ass at it too during college when I'd get bored writing a paper.
Some of you are way scary good, though, better than I was.
Expert was hard because it became a guessing game at a certain point when you had only so many mines left.
That is all.

been playing around a year... 3, 26, 74, as of now... a couple seconds off the high score charts - you have to have a combined score under 100 seconds. in a couple months, check them... you might see a Jeff Wu from the United States... cut off 4 seconds and im there...
25 - john
Yeah, that is my really sad dream too, mine are no where near that yet, although I have just reached a milestone in that i've finally got under 100 for expert.
My scores are 4 - 29 - 96
John (still need to cut off 30 secs, but really not that bad)
