Pacman for Excel 97 and 2000

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the must-have-gaming-fix dept.

Bob Gortician writes "From Usenet: A Japanese geek programmed a complete Pacman game running on Excel. It can approach the SNES in the future, and currently can run at least MSX (Colecovision) games completely." The page is mostly in Japanese, but there's enough English to get one started. After careful consideration, I'm prepared to call this even cooler than the Flight Simulator in Excel. Excel might not be anyone's first choice for gaming platform, but it's helpful for anyone stuck in an office environment.

    These damn agents that corporations put on workstations and laptops record every app you run. By using Excel to browse the internet and play games I can appear to be productive and goof off at the same time.
