Nothing beats Microsoft platforms for gaming though. Excel 97 has a built-in flight sim. Can Emacs do THAT?

  It was written with Excel macros or Basic, or someone wrote the C program and compiled it within the Excel binary? The point of Emacs is that you can build this stuff with its Lisp language. I imagine that you can write a crappy flight simulator with it.

  There's a decent Pac-Man implementation in Excel: http://www.geocities.jp/nchikada/pac/ http://www.geocities.jp/nchikada/pac/ Edit: I see he's added Space Invaders too.

  The question is: can Excel 97 do that with its extension language.
