Skulls

An original Shareware adaptation of the Minesweeper theme. Click onto a square on the board to reveal a die. The number on the die indicates how many of the 8 adjacent squares have skulls in them. Your first nine moves are 'free', after that you lose the game if you uncover a skull. Suspect squares can be 'flagged' as with other games of this type. Your grid is selectable 20x20, 30x30 or 40x40 and smooth hardware scrolling allows you to move throughout the playing area, which is usually much larger than the physical screen. A great stereo soundtrack plays throughout and can be subsituted by a MOD file of your own or one of the three others supplied. A fiercely additive game. STE ONLY.
