I love coming across specialized sites like this ... no doubt the largest collection of DOS minesweeper-like games available on the web:

PHP upgrade to 7.4

:thumbsup: I'm planning to go to 8.0 soon and then 8.1, since according to phpbb docs they do fully support 8.1 and there's no reason (AFAIK) that it would cause any problems for the main site. (Not coincidentally my current task at my day job is making sure all the websites work in 8.0 so they can ...

PHP upgrade to 7.4

Hello,

I just upgraded PHP from 7.3 to 7.4. I have done testing locally and on a staging site, and since it's a minor version update and PHPBB3 officially supports 7.4 I don't anticipate any issues. But if you notice any please report them here or contact me directly, thank you!

Introduce Yourself!

Hello Tom, welcome! I agree, it's always great to hear from authors, and especially if we can provide registered versions of the games. Your software has received over 10,000 views (at least, since those games were added) so clearly there is some interest in them. If you'd like to provide a bio of y...
