It's a primer on creating 3D games in Excel, and it includes demo programs and videos of games created with the Excel 3D engine.

I hope you will discover that Excel effectively and efficiently incorporates practicality, tons of features, the multi-platform portability and the high performance with the unique and futuristic 3D engine features."
