Windows Minesweeper is a software game that has been included with all versions of Microsoft Windows up through Windows 7. The picture to the right is an example of how Minesweeper looked in Windows XP and what Minesweeper looked like in early versions of Windows.

The object of the game is to locate each of the mines and safely mark the mines with a flag by clicking on the box you believe to be a bomb with your right mouse button. To help you with discovering where the bombs are located numbers are placed in squares next to where a bomb is located. For example, if a square has a number 2, it indicates that two bombs are found on one of the sides or corners of that square.

Once all bombs have been marked and all other squares have been cleared the player wins the game. If a bomb is selected and not marked it explodes and the player loses the game.

In the picture below is an example of the Minesweeper app running in Windows 8. In this picture you can get a better understanding of the numbers and where the bombs may be placed in a game.

Windows Solitaire is just like the classic real-life card game.

The game starts with seven stacks of cards, with the first stack having one card, the second stack having two cards, and so on. Only the top card is showing in each stack. The remaining cards are placed in the top left corner of the screen in a single stack, facing down.

When arranging the cards in the seven stacks and using the cards in the top-left, the cards must be arranged in opposite color order. For example, a red six only work on a black seven. If the player has any card showing on the seven stacks that can be placed on another card, that card can be moved to another stack and the card under it can be turned over. If an Ace is found it can be placed in one of the top 4 blank spots to begin creating a stack of all the same suites.

If while playing one of the seven stacks is emptied a King and any of the cards below the king can be moved to the location of the empty stack. If no cards can be placed, one card is drawn from the top-left deck until a match can be found. If all cards are drawn from the top-left the cards are turned over and gone through again.

Finally, if no matches can be found after going through the top-left deck or in any of the seven stacks you lose the game. If you're able to complete all four stacks of cards in the same suites you win the game.

Double-clicking on a card moves it into its place without having to drag the card.

If you believe you can complete the game with the cards showing right-click to finish the game without having to drag and drop all of the remaining of the cards.

• For my Win98 VM, I have StarOffice which is pretty much an early precursor of LibreOffice. For the other things, I also have After Dark 4.0, Microsoft Plus! 98 and Jasc Paint Shop Pro 6. For games, I can't really say about that, nor which are deemed a 'must have'. Regardless of that, have a go at the others I mentioned

  I have the Win98 SE - Should have said that in the first place. SE has Win98 Plus! included with it, doesn't it?
  For the others, I'll give them a try.

  No, Plus! was an entirely separate product unless you have the Windows & Plus! combo CD though those are not that common.
  Plus! 98 isn't really needed for Win98, off hand can't remember everything though but you get a number of desktop themes and a lite version of Golf 98. Plus! 95 was more worthwhile to have with Windows 95 with much of it incorporated into Win98.
  What software are you running the VM from? Gaming performance isn't consistent among virtualisation software. I recall having Office 2000 and Photoshop 7 on my Win98 PIII box but as I haven't used it for weeks from moving house etc. I forget what else is on it.
• The parts of Plus 95 included in Win 98 were the advanced options for disk compression and task scheduler. Plus 98 had compressed (ZIP) folders.
  The last major updates to Lotus SmartSuite were done during WIn98's heyday with only a few patches done for Win2000 and XP.
  The game I played the most on Win 98 was Starfleet Command.

  Don't forget desktop themes, font smoothing, and full drag (Show window contents while dragging), etc.. pretty much everything in Plus! 95 was added to 98.
