Google Celebrates Pac-Man's 30th Anniversary

[Sonic 296]

This is a cool way to mark the 30th anniversary for Pac-Man, play the game inside Google's logo!

Google celebrates Pac-Man's 30th anniversary with playable logo

 

 

A playable ... logo? That's exactly what web giant Google has today, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man's Japanese release. The doodle (Google's term for its event and holiday-specific logos) is accessible on its main page and is a full 255-level game complete with a 256th level "kill screen," just like the original coin-op.

 

The interactive doodle -- a first for Google -- is the brainchild of senior user experience designer Marcin Wichary, whose earliest exposure to Pac-Man came at age five while traveling across his native Poland with his father, a game technician, to repair arcade machines. Wichary worked with Google doodler (yes, it's a real job) Ryan Germick to create the finished design.

 

So, for today at least, you can tell your boss: "I may be browsing the web and playing a game, but I'm also being part of something historic."

Hit up Google and play now

Level 3 with 12170 points on my first try... I found it easier than normal Pac-Man, but I'm not very good at this game.
