If you want to create games in Excel, I guess you will have to learn VBA. It is possible to create some simple things without VBA, but for anything more than basic, you would need VBA and program it.
In theory you could create any game you'd like... since the sourcecode for Doom is open and free right now, maybe you could try to port it to Excel?

I think you may get a little more luck with this if you can narrow your scope a little.
For instance, a version of hangman might be simple, whereas a version of pacman might require a little more perseverance.

An example - tossing a coin for heads or tails might be considered a game by some

=if(rand()>0.5,"Heads","Tails")

put this into a cell and keep on hitting F9 - you have yourself an Excel game.

PS there used to be a bunch of files doing the rounds with versions of popular games. These were invariably written in flash, then the .swf file was embedded in an Excel sheet.
