  Bomb Squad - Object of Game:

  The object of the game is to find all the bombs on the board,
  and mark them, without blowing yourself up by uncovering a bomb.
  Method of Game Play:
  Click on a square with the LEFT mouse button to uncover the square.
  Click on a square with the RIGHT mouse button to mark it as a bomb.
  Click on a square that's marked with the RIGHT mouse button to unmark it.
  Under the squares, you will see either a bomb, a blank, or a number.
  If you uncover a bomb, it will blow up, and you lose.  If you uncover
  a blank, the game will uncover all blank squares connected to it for you.
  The numbers are given as clues, or directions to find the bombs.  You
  will notice that each square touches a maximum of eight other squares.
  If the number in the square is 1, that means that it only touches 1
  square that has a bomb. If the number is 2, it touches 2 squares that
  have bombs, etc.  You can find the bombs using the numbers as a guide.

  How to win:

  You win by either uncovering all the squares except those that contain
  bombs, or by correctly marking all the squares that have bombs. You
  lose by blowing up a bomb, or by marking 60 squares as bombs and being
  wrong.  There are 60 BOMBS total. ****** Have Fun!! & Good Luck!**
