Hexmines
Find a safe path through a minefield on a hexagonal grid.
Ingemar Ragnemalm, 2000
Accept the mine count to start. Click a hex to step on it; its number tells you how many neighboring hexes contain mines. Find a safe path through the minefield. The original game also offers a mode for finding all mines, selectable settings and help boxes.
This is the complete original Hexmines 2.0.4 freeware package, including its documentation and noncommercial redistribution terms. This release is 68K-only.
Bounded native testing verifies starting the board and revealing numbered hexes. Ordinary browser testing also verifies starting the board and revealing several adjacent numbered hexes. Public gameplay, marking, complete paths, wins, settings, saves and audio remain unverified.

Permission
The original Hexmines 2.0.4 docs explicitly permit free use and redistribution. Sale and commercial distribution require the author's written permission; inclusion on shareware CDs requires sending him a complimentary copy. This free preservation distribution retains the complete unchanged original package, documentation and copyright notices. No commercial-distribution or modern source-code licence is inferred.
Notes
Original 79058-byte Hexmines-204.hqx, not repacked or converted. Production decoding yields the original application (empty data fork, 99013-byte resource fork) and docs (7546-byte data fork, 612-byte resource fork). Independent unar extraction matches all four forks. The version 2.0.4 docs identify its 2000 copyright and five-year update; the game originated in 1991. Original 68K-only application; a native PPC version is not present in this package.
