              MINI MINE SWEEP   
   *************************************   
      
   Shaun  Bebbington  has released a version of the classic Minesweep game for   
   the unexpanded VIC 20   
      
   In  the game you can select a skill level to start; this will determine the   
   number  of  flags  that you are able to place.  When you have placed all of   
   your  flags,  the  program will auto-check whether you are a winner or not.   
   The  game  allows  for more than 10 flags, and there is the ability for the   
   player to check on easier levels by pressing F7.
