Really? I thought it was just coming to Wii Virtual Console, or something...

My 2 fave teams in the original NBA Jam (Genesis) are the Jazz (Stockton/Malone) and the Suns (Barkley/Johnson). Those are the 2 best teams IMO

Oh nice. They have 2 vs. 2 and 3 vs. 3 modes. Nice. The graphic does not like that bad either. I will buy it for my family as soon as it is released.

Thanks man for posting it!

Back to Minesweeper, I heard that even if you make no mistakes you will have to guess in half of all expert games.

Anybody here have a minesweeper world ranking? You need to have a combined time at all three levels of 99 or less. I think the best I could do was around 140...

Long time since I was addicted to Minesweeper. 99 combined is really tough. I had 3/4 seconds for beginner, 26 for medium and somewhere like high 70/low 80 seconds for expert. Got close, but it's really hard to get any extra seconds off. And especially 37 seconds for expert like some can is just impossible...

And indeed, you have to guess pretty often on that last bit. However - for the old minesweeper anyway, guess this one is the same - there was always at least one bomb in a corner of the field, so if you wouldn't have put a bomb in a corner and are left guessing for the last one in a corner of the field, it will be in the corner.

99 is insane... I don't think I've ever gotten the expert alone below 120.
I didn't know about the corner thing, that's interesting.
As far as free windows games, I much prefer freecell for wasting time. 99% of those games are winnable, unlike minesweeper or solitaire.
