A year or two ago I decided to find some ad-free versions of Solitaire and Minesweeper for Windows after the official Windows versions he was playing showed him some virus scam ads that made him think he was being hacked (super scummy of Microsoft to put ads in those games to begin with). That sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole as I discovered the world of competitive Minesweeper and various clones that fix problems with Microsoft’s original versions and offer better features for competition. I’d never before considered how complex it could be!
