CLUSTER GAME-MINESWEEPER-CLASSIC · 53 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-03-27

Minesweeper clones and variants

This cluster contains Minesweeper recreations and variants spanning web, mobile, desktop, and terminal platforms, including 3D and roguelike twists. Dated entries appear sporadically from March 2009 to July 2026, with a mild recent concentration in 2025–2026. The traction leaders (minesweeper, KMines, Minesweeper) all show zero stars, so no strong external activity signal emerges.
