Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and many other classic arcade games followed-while there was Pong before Pac-Man’s release, Pac-Man was the game that began 80's gaming addictions.Ĭ-Net says the Pac-Man Doogle is Google’s “first-ever truly interactive and playable home page logo.” While traditional Pac Man has 255 levels, but Google's “re-created authentic sounds and graphics” unlike other daily Doogle’s-which are removed from the Google home page after one day-the Pac Man Doogle will remain for 48 hours and through close of the May 22 Pac Man Anniversary. The Google version includes the Pac Man's game original opening theme and ‘wocka wocka’ sounds. To begin the game, you can also either click on the logo or click on the “Insert Coin” button below the game. You can either use the arrows on the bottom right corner of your keyboard or use your mouse to navigate through the game-navigating through the game using arrow keys keeps the rhythm of the game like Pac Man was intended to be, while using a mouse does slow things down a bit. And, yes it is actually an interactive Pac-Man game that can be played using keyboard arrow keys! Linger more than 10 seconds on Google’s home page today, and you’ll see the game - which has Google logo right in the center of the board - begins automatically. May 22 marks the 30th anniversary of the classic arcade game Pac-Man the release, and Google's converted its logo into a Pac-Man theme complete with arcade sounds. The search-engine giant usually creates special Doogles - a custom Google logo - for various holidays and observances. You've got 48 hours, with your best friend, to play Pac Man on Google cuz it's coming down May 22.

Google’s celebrates the 30th Anniversary Pac-Man Arcade Games with its first interactive Doogle-allowing up to 2 users to play an actual Pac Man game through 256 levels, within the Google browser.
