I think we should lobby MM for a SEIV Version or mode which uses a special graphics set to disguise the game screen as an excel spreadsheet.


now *that* would rock=-)

No No No! If it looked like excel I wouldn't get ANY work done (well maybe thats not such a bad idea )

Reminds me of some older games from Micropose and probably other companies did the same. They had a short cut key that would pause the game and dump you to a screen that looked like a dos shell with a prompt. I remember the first I saw it said something about boss key.

I remember a shareware game like that. They had a key (F12 I think) as the Boss key. If you hit it, it would go to a spreadsheet looking screen.

Yeah, I'm at work too... No games, jut a few minutes on a forum here and there.
