Google Celebrates PAC-MAN's 30th Birthday on Their Homepage!

Today is PAC-MAN's 30th birthday. You can now rediscover your memories of your favorite 8-bit game. Or, if you don't know what PAC-MAN is, you can find out. "—through our first-ever playable Google doodle. To play the game, go to Google.com during the next 48 hours (because it’s too cool to keep for just one day) and either press the “Insert Coin” button or just wait for a few seconds." As Google said on their blog.

I know I have always loved PAC-MAN, the little circle with the missing peice that was always dear to me

"Google doodler Ryan Germick and I made sure to include PAC-MAN’s original game logic, graphics and sounds, bring back ghosts’ individual personalities, and even recreate original bugs from this 1980’s masterpiece. We also added a little easter egg: if you throw in another coin, Ms. PAC-MAN joins the party and you can play together with someone else (PAC-MAN is controlled with arrow keys or by clicking on the maze, Ms. PAC-MAN using the WASD keys)," the Google Blog said.

PAC-MAN seems to fit perfectly on the homepage of the major search engine. The two just seem to go together. Both colorful, simple and they just seem so familiar.

So, don't miss PAC-MANs anniversary or birthday! Take some time out of your day to revisit your childhood memories or to make new ones. Head on over to the Google Homepage and play some PAC-MAN!
