Accepted solution by Ash S. — Other software from that era had them too, like the Windows 3.1 credits screen with animated characters.
  1. My dad told me Excel used to have a flight simulator hidden in it and I thought he was trolling. Nope. Excel 97 had a hidden 3D flight sim easter egg, triggered by a specific key sequence on a blank sheet. You could fly over a landscape with teh names of the developers hidden in it.

    Word 97 had a hidden pinball game, and Excel 2000 had a driving game called "Dev Hunter". All of these are gone from modern Office. To be clear: this is history only, none of it works in current versions. seriously need help here 😭
