This time ,Google celebrated the 30th anniversary of this arcade game called "Pac-Man" by changing its logo to a playable version of Pac-Mac last Friday (5/21). The layout of the maze spelled out the word Google and also by pressing the insert coin button, Ms. Pac-Man (control with W,A,S,D) will appear and you could play both characters simultaneously. After you finish the game, Google then lead you to Pac-Man's 30th anniversary search page.
Google originally planned to remove it back to the classic Google search logo after two days or so, but it turned out to be incredibly popular, that even people around the world spend almost five million man-hours playing it (I contributed some amount as well :) ). As a result, Google decided to keep this entertaining page forever.

I heard about this last week but never checked it out. I'm glad the link you posted still works. Kinda fun and nostalgic. I put many quarters into a PacMan machine when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteThe link works forever! Because it is overwhelming popular, Google decided to make this separate web page so users can play through it.
