Developer turns classic Windows Minesweeper into hand-holding 'big-budget, Triple-A’ parody

What happened

Developer turns classic Windows Minesweeper into hand-holding 'big-budget, Triple-A’ parody, according to Tom's Hardware. This reboot of Minesweeper makes it feel like a big budget game created by a massive game studio. A creative director just created a AAA version of the classic Minesweeper game that used to come with Windows.

Mike Lacher shared his creation on LinkedIn , which he called a “big-budget, triple-A” reboot, with “loot boxes and brand integrations” set to arrive in the first quarter of next year. When you visit the Triple-A Minesweeper page, you’ll be greeted by the classic Minesweeper logo similar to what you’d expect to see on a Windows 95 desktop.

But when you double-click on the icon, you’ll be greeted by the usual sweeping audio entrance that you find on big-budget games, alongside a series of logos from the usual suspects — Unreal Engine, Nvidia, Bink Video, and Wwise — before finally seeing the Minesweeper title splash appear across the page. Once the loading screens finish, you’re immediately transported to the Minesweeper game.
