Saturday 1 November 2003 — This is 21 years old. Be careful.
This has got to win some kind of award for the most complete game implemented on the least-capable platform: Pac-Man for Excel. It’s a complete, playable, faithful implementation of the arcade Pac-Man game, written in Excel macros, with pixels of the game displayed by changing the background colors of minutely-sized cells! I’m flabbergasted. I don’t even know enough about scripting Excel to be able to read the code this guy has written.

Wow?
Cool?
Pixel mapping through an MS Excel spreadsheet? That has to be the best example of a bad choice of implementation technology that I have ever seen (other than a Lotus Notes driven website, of course).
Give this guy a nickel for his wasted time.
