Arena - an Excel Game!

[Gandalf]

Well, stumbled apon this from a news article somewhere a few weeks ago. Forgot where exactly, anyway, downloaded the first version but unfortunately it was bugged and crashed after killing the first mob. Today I decided to have a look again and there is an updated version so downloaded and started playing and it's really good. There is a story, mobs to kill, levels, etc. So far it's a bit easy, but it's great fun and a great time waster! Oh, and all this in an excel spreadsheet!
