3-D Minesweeper was written for RISC OS 3 in 1994 by Andrew Gerrard.
The game was inspired by !Mine (1992) by Murklesoft but made into a 3-D version. You can choose sizes from 8x3x3 to 16x16x16 and rotate the shape. You chord by holding [SHIFT] while clicking the left button and you flag by holding [SHIFT] while pressing the right button.
The author also wrote CrazyMine and Stormsweeper for RISC OS.
