I recall playing an 80s-ish submarine (WW2?) game with a "spreadsheet mode".

Better known as "boss key": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_key

Lots of old games have this, I played many MicroProse flight simulators and they all had it.

These days even Tinder (website version) has a boss-key.

But yeah I remember a lot of games had boss-keys that would let you pretend to be working.

That's probably Gato (1984): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gato_(video_game)
