PacMan!
 

PacMan turnes 30 today. Wow. Even more awesome Google has an interactive PacMan on their main page.

Welcome to the future.

Took me forever to figure out how to actually get to the basic Google home page with the interactive Pac-Man game. I use I Google which just has a small logo (and even when I log out and just go to google.com it presents me with a page asking me to use iGoogle).

But now I've played it and it only took me half a level to slip into that feeling I had as a child of the '80s. Namely "huh, people find this game fun?"

It's also the 30th anniversary of the Empire Strikes Back :D

30 Years on and I still suck at PacMan.

I was very good at pacman back in the day. Late night closing shift at Safeway we'd all play and usually had the highest posted scores on the game.

Thanks BtD, this made me smile. :D

I still miss my 2600 joysticks. All the reproductions never had the same feel.

I actually have our family's old 2600 and 5200 game systems, complete with joysticks and all the games. When we get a bigger place, I have visions of having a retro game room. :D

I love that Google did this. The game is complete, even with the intermittent chase cartoons! :snap:

WTF Google. It works on the iPhone but not the Android (aka the Google phone).

If you don't move your Pac Man guy at the start, the ghosts leave you alone totally.
:)

ETA: Never mind. I just died.
:D

I love it. And am as useless at Pac-Man as ever.
