There was a bunch of game ideas up my sleeves one of them was a game where a typical 404 page transitions into a green garden like mine sweeper version made up of a flowering mine field with smooth sweet sound effects Fourth day. We'll Since Mine sweeper is not a very common game there's nothing fun about it and not everyone knows how it's played.
