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.

    If you go and set macro security to low, I was able to play it in Office 2003 (beta). It is actually a really nice duplication of the actual game, complete with sound effects. The hard part is finding the .zip archive on the site that has some sort of language that I have never heard of before on it before (must be Spanish). Just make sure to revert those settings back, or else there's going to be a "Slashdot Macro" virus. Oh! And that gives me and idea ...
