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.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
