Yes, but can it run DOOM?

That's always the question!
Here is a video of a doom-alike in excel, explained by someone with a bird on his head. He's not clippy, but a real person with a bird on his head. [1]
Here is a video displaying a walk-through of the Excel easter egg that showed the Hall of Tortured Souls! [2]

The bird moves to his hand halfway through.

Thankfully, the bird's location doesn't affect the graphical rendering power of Excel.

Excel 95 contained an Easter egg which was a doom like game.

It was 3D but it wasn’t really Doom like. It reminded me more of Magic Carpet.
There was a Windows 95 screen saver that was Doom like though.

Excel 98 had an Easter egg which was like Magic Carpet! If I recall correctly, you fly over a twisted purple and orange landscape while an obelisk emits the credits.
95 had the “Hall of Tortured Souls”—a 2.5D first-person walker—which was more Doomlike.

There was no Excel 98.

They mean the excel included in Office `97. That's the disk I'm holding in my hand and that's the version I experienced the weird flying easter egg.
