Yeah...I've gotten it to work. It's just a pain because you have to publish a web page with interactive junk or something....
 
Yeh there is, I didn't manage to get it to work, but I then realized I was on 2000 SR-1 or something, which it wasn't on.

Post pics if it works!

Boot Excel 2000
Under file menu, do 'Save as Web Page'
Say 'Publish Sheet' and 'Add Interactivity'
Save to some htm page on your drive.
Load the htm page with IE. You should have Excel in the middle of the page.
Scroll to row 2000, column WC. Select row 2000, and tab so that WC is the active column.
Hold down Shift+Crtl+Alt nad click the Office logo in the upper-left.
If you have DirectX, you will be playing what looks like spy hunter. Use the arrow keys to drive, space to fire, O to drop oil slicks, and when it gets dark, use H for your headlights.
 
I got it to work several times before office 2k3. Pretty cool. If I remember correctly you just need to put a value in a certain cell, then save it as a specific type of document. Anyhow, it does work.

It doesn't work for me in 2002. The website above says that the Easter Eggs were removed from 2002 because of complaints of bloat.
