Hidden game in Excel

[leosayer]

Is there such a thing? - requiring certain keystrokes to load.

Not so much of a game, but an example of why XL is so bloody big.

Its a spaceship simulation thing where you fly around a small world.

Its crap.

In summary.

Cheers, there is a site www.eegs.com, but it doesn't look like there are any for Excel 2002

Good. I've paid for a spreadsheet, I want a bloody spreadsheet. Not some crummy game.

I think I first found out about this in 1995.

Do keep up.

Isn't it funny how things have "progressed"? Ten years on since these so called "easter eggs" have appeared and I have bought a piece of software pertaining to be an Operating System which requires 1.5GB hard disk space, uses 250Mb of RAM when doing nothing, takes longer to boot than Windows 95, has lost the easy feel of 3.1, has the managability of OS Warp, and is supposed to be a bloody operating system: Instead it is a:

Internet Exploder
Media Centre
Card Game
CDR Burner
Firewall
UPS controller
Security Advisor
Driver Monitor

Self downloading, self perpetuating, auto updating, bandwidth hogging, pop-up generating -up, and all I wanted was a stable operating system

Easter egg ?

More like the bunny boiler of software I feel sorry for those companies that used to have a future until Microturd came along:

Zonealarm, APC (powerchute), Netscape, Roxio etc
