Civilization comes to Excel … as a game

The famous game, Civilization, has been impressively recreated in Excel as Solly’s Cellivization.

Civilization was an early computer game that started in 1991 for MS-DOS and has undergone many reincarnations for Windows, Mac and gaming devices now almost forgotten.  Here it is in Microsoft Excel …

Even with the power of modern computers and Excel, making a version of the game is no mean feat.

You can download Cellivization from  https://s0lly.itch.io/cellivization there’s instructions for game play.

There are no specific versions of Excel listed as compatible.  The download is a binary .xlsb file.

Give it a try and if you like it, remember to vote for Solly in the OLC Codejam 2019.
