- wulfflower, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24I thought they died before xanga become popular. o_o Ah the memories of my first crappy site.... lovely.
- zweben, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Hahaha, a Geocities site on digg. Those things get about 20MB bandwidth a month.
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20No really boss..I'm in excel...see?
- CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24Look he made an anti MS comment. Isn't he cool?
- Daniel591992, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19That's ******** awesome!
- kanavulator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Well, that sets it. Pac-Man is officially available for every platform in existence.
Next up: DoomXLS - Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+20Finally, something worth using Excel for.
- mlerner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15seems to work in 2003 as well.

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Wow. I mean, there are ridiculous fanboys, and then there is you. Even the most pathetic anti-MS people all pretty much acknolwedge that Excel is an EXTREMELY powerful and very useful program. It is responsible for billions, if not trillions of productivity increases in business.
It takes a lot of guts (or complete ignorance) to post an anti-Excel post and actually think that you will be applauded for it. - manifestdata, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12"For all I know, It must be meaningful that makes the program works on Excel!!
Nobuya.Chikada(Japanese Excel Crazy Guy)"
haha i love this guy. i wonder if americans sound funny speaking japanese. - TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Too bad it only works in 97 and 2000
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8...I imagine many Americans who know japanese do speak funny sounding japanese..as does almost anyone who speaks a language that is not their first language.
- cody50, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Most Impressive. *wheeeze*
- billymachine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I dugg this story just for using the word "possiblele" twice in a sentencece!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Trolling For the Win
- CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I think their BW goes on a daily basis, doesn't it?
- arizonagroove, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6their
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7i wondow why Yahoo still runs Geocities, it never made any profit since 1998...
plus all the lawsuits it got... - seventoes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Im suprised that its not dead yet... it probably will be by the time anyone reads this comment..
- DubbedOver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It even works in Excel 2007 beta, although its not all lined up correctly it was still a blast.
- mlwarrior, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5FINALLY!
- barrosz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6file is here:
http://www1.plala.or.jp/chikada/vba/pac/pacelle.zip - Fractl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm currently trying to write a Go reader in Excel. Games are certainly possible...but you must really know how to make the code run as fast as possible.
Making PacMan is simply brilliant!!! - eplawless, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3he does reasonably well considering the difference in the languages. I'm beginning to learn japanese and I'd love to speak it as well as this guy speaks english.
"inbeedaa" lol - subhuman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It requires VBA so it will not work in OO.
- cmdrbond, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Cellvader!!! ♥
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4arrrrggh..humanity weeps
- inotocracy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Whats your point raindog? I doubt anyone expected this to be written in spreadsheet functions, of course its going to use Visual Basic and some Windows API :P
- Tredici, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually, the fourth reply to the first comment on this page comprises of "Finally, something worth using Excel for." Zippo was applauded through four diggs at the time of writing.
- rotarychainsaw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3OpenOffice on linux almost worked... well not really. It opened though.
- rnelsonee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I must be one of those security/paranoid people:
Here's what I get when I try to play:
You may encounter this error for the following reasons:
1. Macro security is set to:
• Very High and the application encounters a signed macro, but the macro was automatically disabled.... [insert lots of text]
• High and the application encounters a signed macro, but you selected Disable when prompted by the macro warning dialog…[insert lots of text]
• High or Very High and the macro was not signed…[insert lots of text]
2. Another instance of your application has a lock on the security settings and is disallowing any changes to security settings…[insert lots of text]
3. Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed on your computer….[insert lots of text]
4. The certificate of trust is invalid - (when this occurs, you cannot select the Enable button). - Smwbigboss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That would make a great MMORPG.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Written for a spreadsheet program, and still better than the Atari 2600 version of the game. :)
- TheWriteGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Does this work on OpenOffice Calc?
- DubbedOver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22007 too.
- nawlins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well it's not mac compatible since it has calls to windows dll files. :(
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Many games are available here http://cgi30.plala.or.jp/chikada/vba/acd.shtml
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Could you have told by the fact that it only runs in Excel 97 and 2k?
- patrickbwells, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2as well as in Office Beta (compatability mode)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now thats Hardcore!
I thought Pacman in flash was awesome and now this!'
great work, would have taken ages to code! - Soave, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2At least correct the obvious grammar and spelling errors if you're not going to write your own description.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The translation is like somebody used Google Language Tools Japanese to English.
- jerbaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm still trying to figure out what the hell "Although I did not think it's possiblele, but now it's possiblele by the favor of the improvement in a performance of a personal computer." means, exactly. Reminds me of some poorly translated product manuals.
- Codename, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's freaking awesome.
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Look at the average anime fanboy... you don't even need to be Japanese to realise most Americans look and sound rediculous trying to speak Japanese.
- Wisgary, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think Geocities offers different hosting plans so he might be paying for extra bandwidth.
- raindog469, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1inotocracy, if including Windows API functions can make it still "written entirely in Excel", why not just go all the way and use DirectX? Of course it had to use VBA, but that's what Excel macros are written in.
If it worked under, say, Excel for Mac, I would give it credit for being written "entirely in Excel". - kanavulator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, those are amazing. Translation?
