A few weeks ago I thought to myself. “Hey self, wouldn’t it be awesome if you could program Monopoly into a Excel spreadsheet?” I let the thought echo for about 2 weeks before I actually wrote anything down and started figuring out how I could make this a reality. But then I had an even better thought to myself. “Hey self, don’t you think someone else probably had this idea and actually acted on it before you?” I didn’t let this thought echo as long as the first, about 30 minutes, before a Google search found exactly what I was looking for. Turns out someone not only made Monopoly but there is also games like collect 4, Sudoku, and Othello.
While the games don’t work in Open Office, at least not the ones I tested, they seemed to have no problems in Office 2007 even though they were obviously made in earlier versions of Microsoft Office.
I attached some of the games I liked to this post. You will have to enable macros for them to work and I take no responsibility if the person who programed the game hid a few billion virus downloaders in the VBA macros.
