Google does interactive Pac-Man doodle - Time Waster
Maybe in the longer term we'll get to see Google start serving up some serious games, but for now, they give us Pac-Man!
You know how Google does these "Google Doodles"? Well, this is the first fully-interactive one I've seen:
To celebrate Pac-Man's 30th anniversary, Google has put up a fully playable Pac-Man level right in its image. At first it looks like a regular doodle, but if you wait for a few moments, it "unfreezes" and becomes fully playable, retro sounds and all!
Since it's a Google Doodle and the anniversary is just about over, the game may already be gone by the time you see this. But still, kudos to Google for getting even more creative with its doodles! Nice!
