Google’s tribute to Pac-man
If you are a gamer, or have heard of the term Pac-man, or are just plain bored, then you have to, have to, have to go and check out the new playable doodle on the Google homepage.
PAC-MAN™ & ©1980 NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc.
Just wait on Google’s homepage (google.com, but even the country sites seem to show the doodle) for a few seconds, or click the insert coin button, and the doodle comes to life giving you a fully playable pac-man game.
The game is awesome fun and brings back all the old memories, especially that of arcade games. It is Pac-man’s 30th birthday, and what better tribute than to be featured on the homepage of Google.
Take a deeper look and you will find that you are playing on and around the Google logo itself. Hit the ‘Insert Coin’ button a second time and you will get to play with Mrs. Pac-man too – awesome for two player gaming. Now its two of you versus the colored ghosts.
