Yeah - I didn't realize it until I clicked on it and noticed you could actually play along. So I wasted a few minutes for the heck of it. Pretty innovative though.

Is this what everyone else is seeing:

"Your browser, IE, is not cool enough... Please upgrade"?

Just checking to see if I might be missing something if I don't.

When I saw the Pacman logo this morning, I didn't realize you could play the game, but I did notice it start to activate seconds before my search request moved me to a new page.

I've never been much good at these games either, but now I'm just going to have to go back and try it. My brother was a whiz at that game.

LOL... I guess everyone is on the same page with this one... Google found a way to make today an unproductive day!!! I was able to prove to myself how much I stink at video games...

PacMan is NOT the exception.

I remember that darn game when Atari was huge. All the cousins used to congregate in the one household that had the console. And everyone fought to have the little stick control first. But as I proved then, I did again today, video games were not designed for ME!!!

HA... I guess Pac Man has once again hypnotized both boys and girls (although only a few of us will admit it, LOL)

I have never been much of a pac man girl, I was a feminist and defender of Mrs. Pacman, LOL!!! But that good old game as google's logo really caught me off guard. WOW, those were the days... And YES, it is kind of annoying playing with the arrows, there seems to be a delay, if you can call it that. Needless to say I lost almost immediately. Or it could just be my lack of ability to play the game...

Brings me back to my bar hopping and Atari 2600 days.

Most of the bars I went to had video games in them. Whenever the hottest
games came out, the bars would have them first. I remember Pac Man,
Donkey Kong, Berzerk, QBert...and so many others.

And the 2600...we'd wait for the newest games to come out like Space
Invaders, Defender, Missile Command, and even Custer's Revenge, which
was just too off the wall to even try to describe.

And then when Activision got into the business creating Atari compatible
games...forget it.

I literally spent a fortune back then.

Yeah, those were some fun times.

It's up for 48 hours and has 250 levels! I wonder how many people burned through an entire workday trying to see how far they could get. LOL

- I tried twice and went back to work... ok, three times.... maybe four. But that's it. Seriously.

Really....

I wonder how much they spent in hours to have the team code the script for it... They must really love pacman - otherwise, I doubt many people would have known it was the 30th anniversary. Pretty funny. It was a cool Gogletastic logo, though.

I doubt they would of have coded much....they wouldnt of have to code the actual game, the game is already made in so many formats out there over the years. They would of just had to work out how to get it working on the browser.
