Games People Play and Rubarb’s game takes us back to the nineties, and here we can show that we are spreadsheet wizards… 

Excel and accounting have never been so exciting! Dive into SpreadCheat where exciting math puzzles await you. Use your spreadsheet skills to unravel the main story or solve endless daily challenges. Get ready to turn those numbers into pure excitement! Step into the fast-paced financial world of the 90’s and dive into the wonderful world of corporate bro culture. Crunch the numbers, cover for your boss, and climb the corporate ladder. Maybe you’ll become a bro yourself one day? 

Indulge in the aesthetic pleasures of the ultimate 90’s operating system. Complete with MIDI music, 256 sparkling colors, hilarious e-mail attachments, and your own personal genius Clippy-like assistant, Corpy! Take a break from cracking numbers by doing fun things around the office in a variety of mid-90’s minitasks. Remove malicious malware, clean up dirty desktops, and unleash your inner artist by helping your boss understand PowerPoint! 

The minimum system requirements are only listed, but this is one that will run a 10 year old configuration: Windows 10 x64, Intel Core i5-4670K processor, Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 graphics card, and 500 MB of free disk space. So it’s a 4-core, 4-thread processor, and DX12 doesn’t even need to be supported by the GPU. So it’s perfectly friendly. Jack Kristofferson, the game’s producer, does a great job of marketing SpreadCheat: “While other kids were dreaming of spaceships, I was dreaming of spreadsheets. Who needs rocket science when you have conditional formatting?” 

SpreadCheat is scheduled for release on Steam for PC in the first quarter of 2025 (January-March). If you want to see what life was like before Windows XP, here’s what a PC was like three decades ago…
