Re: Minesweeper

They basically where, certainly Solitaire at least.

Those where the days when people were being weened off joysticks, and needed to be told which mouse button to use (on PCs).

There was actually a training application in Windows 3.11, after you installed, that taught the basics of how to drag and drop, double click etc. One of the exercises is dragging all of the components into a window - the left hand ' - ', mini/maximise ' ^ ' / ' v ' etc. Interestingly, if you run it on Windows 9x, the minimise and maximise become 9x style ' _ ' / ' □ ', but the window style is 3.x.
