Despite the addictiveness of having to clear a minefield, the game was not invented as a source of entertainment. It appeared for the first time in 1992 with the aim of familiarizing the user in the use of the mouse, the right and left buttons, and the precision of the click.
One of the secrets of the success of this game is that it is programmed so that a bomb can not explode at the first click. This allows the user to latch on.
It is said that Bill Gates himself found it so entertaining and addictive that he had to uninstall it.
