Excel-Virtual-Machine: C Compiler which targets Excel

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.

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.
