About

Manic Minefields is a Mac shareware Minesweeper variant that bundles ten distinct minefield games into one program, each with its own graphics, sounds, special rules, and high-score table. The unregistered build from Info-Mac unlocks two of the ten variants, with the rest opening on a seven US dollar Kagi registration.Minesweeper, On SteroidsMacintosh Garden's listing describes the title as not just another Minesweeper clone but the formula on steroids. The shared core matches Microsoft Minesweeper or Atari Landmines, but each themed minefield layers in fresh art, sound effects, alternative tile number displays, and per-minefield scoring rules.From Norbyte HBManic Minefields is credited on Macintosh Garden to Mandus and Rasmus Soderberg under the Addiction Interactive banner, published by Norbyte HB and dated 1997. The same Soderberg duo is associated with other Norbyte titles such as Headbanger and Rainbow Painter on the Mac shareware scene.System RequirementsThe release expects a PowerPC Macintosh running System 7.5 through Mac OS 9.x, with a display set to thousands or millions of colors and at least 800 by 600 resolution. The Info-Mac upload manic-minefields-131.hqx is the optimised 1.31 build, with bug fixes and updated Kagi payment information.Score SharingBeyond the per-minefield hi-score tables, the program supports importing and exporting best-time charts, letting players compare scores with other registered users. The feature was a small hallmark of the late 1990s Mac shareware scene before web-hosted leaderboards became standard.
