But bombs are considered illegal as well. Military use bombs look
completely different as well. And the game is minesweeper. It doesn't
matter if the mines were outlawed I think. They put mines in movies
still. It's not like this is a game that trains people how to use
floating mines at sea. We'd have other problems if it were. Not that I
think many people actually play minesweeper any more anyway. But, I'd
rather the icons matched the game, than were totally unrelated. :)
