In the "Rlogic", the player's task is as U.S. Marines, the command center for the safety of mines unearthed in a line, if the road were all blocked even if the lost mine. Two years later, Tom Anderson "Rlogic" on the basis of the game and write a "land mines", which laid the prototype of the modern de-mining game.
　　In 1981, Microsoft's Robert Johnson, Carter, Dole and two engineers in the Windows 3.1 system, load the game, the game was officially mine in the world widely.
　　The game is played on a 9 * 9 (primary), 16 * 16 (intermediate), 16 * 30 (senior), or custom-sized boxes arranged at random matrix of a certain amount of mines (primary to 10 , intermediate for the 40 senior as 99.) Open box one by one by the players to find out all the mines as the ultimate goal of the game. If the player opened the box there are mines, the game is over.
