Library updated Nov 18, 2008 - added Darren Kearney's Solitaire.

DzikoSoft updated Nov 12, 2008 - Project RPG.XLS game title announced!

Welcome to Excel Games Library, a part of DzikoSoft GMEXCEL Project. Here you can find one hundred cool Excel games for your enjoyment and study. I do not want to provide simply a storage space for games, I try to assure that all authors of Excel games will be given credits for their great work. Thus, I added author’s website when available to the library.

In Categorized Library, games are groped by genre. You can find several variants of Snake game, Tetris or Battleships and so on. Minesweeper clones seems to be the most popular among Excel Game Developers, but many more exotic games are also available. Have a good time browsing the library!
