Do you? I am trying to get off the damn things; not load more.

It's nearer and purer and safer. Yes, those games can be addictive. I went through a tough phase with Galaxians. After considerable treatment by a retired shrink of Woody Allen's I'm okay now.

I wonder if I got it from my mother or my father? I feel so relieved to have confessed though. It's a huge weight off my mind. I have Come Out. I believe the Minesweeper was introduced to teach people the concept of left and right clicking, while Solitaire was to teach drag-and-drop. But I know how to do these thing now!

I did know about this addiction though, I have suspicions that it is genetic, as I have it too, as do a few friends of mine. I've been cursed from a height by one friend in particular for teaching him the knack of minesweeper. I use these games to fill in the time taken for my slow internet connection to download webpages. Trouble is, you can't stop playing midstream! This is proving very costly on my phonebills. The creators of these games certainly knew what they were doing. I wonder are there minesweeper championships? Fair play to you for coming clean.
