Mine-Perfect was written for Windows in 1995 by Christian Czepluch.
The default version of the game has the same 3 difficulty levels as Windows Minesweeper (8x8 with 10 mines, 16x16 with 40 mines, 30x16 with 99 mines) and it has the same rules except that you chord with the left mouse button and can auto-flag with the right mouse button (clicking a number touching the same number of mines flags all mines).
Mines-Perfect introduces many new features. There are 7 tile patterns (Square, Hexagon, Triangle, 3D, Parquet, Pentagon, Triangle14). The game saves your best score to 3 decimals players for each level and tile pattern. There are several legal options such as "Hint" and "Startup" which both start games with an opening, "Immune" which flags mines when you are forced to guess, "Lucky" which moves mines when you are forced to guess and "Murphy's Law" which ensures you hit a mine if you make an unecessary guess.
Cheat options include the ability to see mines and ask for a Hint. You can also undo and redo clicks or show all mines. The game also has a solver with 3 levels of logic. For example, using the solver with Stage 3 logic can win Expert in a few clicks. However, if you use cheat options the game is not allowed for Highscores.
Mines-Perfect intended to allow games to be submitted to a global ranking but Version 1.5 was never released.
Version 1.4.0 does not work on older versions of 32 bit Windows.
