the difference between well known DOS lines game and Monochrome Lines?

in a move. If you pass, you get 1 point.

do get points if computer creates you a line by randomly placing new balls at
proper positions.

balls. Recommended number is 7.
- Make sure you
check out the options menu and instructions after you start the
game.

If
you like minesweeper but hate to hurry and would prefer to play it with a coup of coffee, then try
my Minefield game. Score equals number of mouse clicks, not the
