Default Microsoft Excel Game Engine

"Cutting-edge computer games use different graphics subsystems -- so-called 3D graphics engines. Source (used in Half Life 2), Unreal Engine (Unreal Tournament), idTech 4 (Doom 3), CryENGINE2 (Crysis) or Clever's Paradox engine are well-known among the players and the game industry experts. It's time to learn a new 3D game engine name: Microsoft Excel."

now if they can feed that into a game engine and video card at a high rate, they may be on to something... otherwise the games will look like the original simcity or Doom







Thanks HL and Corsair!
