Pac-Man is thirty years old tomorrow! Can you believe? In some ways, it's amazing that the game is so old, yet it's also such a timeless classic that you could imagine it being around since the dawn of time. Anyway, the big news is that if you go to Google right now, you'll see that the site has chosen to celebrate in style.
When I first stumbled on it the Pac-flavored Google logo, I thought it was cute. Then the classic Pac-Man music started and I realized the logo was actually playable. That's when I lost my mind and rushed to write this post. Now you all need to go and see it too. Very, very cool.
Oh, and happy birthday Pac-Man!

it's pretty sweet.

The ghosts don't even try to follow you, and when they're vulnerable, they don't make any attempt to avoid you.
Still, it's neat.
SAAAAWEEEET!
No... It really shouldn't. There would be another financial crisis because no-one were doing their jobs. But Google's stock will go up by a billion percent. And google will rule the earth at the end of it all.
This is just the beginning of the end.
xP
Totally Radical!!!
Are you implying Google don't rule the world?
I already got to the 256th level and then this happened...
Happy Birthday, Pac-Man!
I know! That was annoying as hell. It only stopped when I turned off cool previews on firefox so if your using an add-on that loads up webpages outside of tabs you should be cool if you turn it off.
If not you're probably fucked for the rest of the day.
me too *high 5*
The AI is dumber, but the level is worse. The Power Pellet being at a dead end, just play it and you'll see.
I made it three boards controlling both at once.
