This is a quality egg if I ever saw one. I just downloaded OpenOffice on the recommendation of my dad and after using it, experience told me, "there has to be an egg in here." So I checked and I found it.

This easter-egg doesn't work here (on Debian Etch). It only shows "say what?", but doesn't start the game, no matter if I type only =GAME() or =GAME("Star Wars") or even dismiss the last ")" charakter (which is anyway being added automatically)... So, what am I doing wrong?

(This works in the help menu of any OpenOffice.org apps). @ jackfusion It means, after you've closed everything, open it up again and repeat the same formula.
