Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This game puts a St. Patrick's Day spin on Minesweeper. Shamrock's Gold creates a sprightly atmosphere with festive music, a cursor that trails gold pixie dust, and a leprechaun as a host. The gameplay remains traditional, although in this version you have to clear a field without disturbing the leprechaun's pots of gold. If you fail and uncover a gold stash, the field blows up and the game ends. You can play at various levels, from easy to advanced, differentiated by the size of the playing grid. The window displays the number of pots of gold that remain. The game features an informative tutorial marred only slightly by the fakey Irish dialect, and you can configure the interface and sound. Shamrock's Gold takes Minesweeper to a new level in terms of design.Publisher's description
From Silver Creek Entertainment :If you've ever played Minesweeper and you like leprechauns, you're in for a treat, because now you get both in one great game. See if you have the skill to steal Shamrock's gold. You get cool effects such as fairy dust and showers of gold coins. Best yet, it's all totally free and it's great for the kids, too.

Version: Shamrock's Gold 1.11
Pros: Very similar to Minesweeper that comes with Windows. Has the option to let you listen to your own midis.
Cons: As already stated, the sounds are very loud. You can't play mp3s, only midis. The only difference between this game and Minesweeper is the colors as far as gameplay is concerned. I uninstalled this after a couple games.

Version: Shamrock's Gold 1.11
Pros: Nice to play when you need a break from a tough day.
Cons: Turn your speakers down or turn the audio off. It's a little loud and the sounds are kind of weird.
