We also added a little easter egg: if you throw in another coin, Ms PAC-MAN joins the party and you can play together with someone else (PAC-MAN is controlled with arrow keys or by clicking on the maze, Ms PAC-MAN using the WASD keys). Google doodler Ryan Germick and Marcin Wichary made sure to include PAC-MAN’s original game logic, graphics and sounds, bring back ghosts’ personalities, and even recreate original bugs from this 1980’s masterpiece. To play the game, go to during the next 48 hours (because it’s too cool to keep for just one day) and either press the “Insert Coin” button or just wait for a few seconds. Today, on PAC-MAN’s 30th birthday, you can rediscover some of your 8-bit memories-or meet PAC-MAN for the first time-through our first-ever playable Google doodle. Google has rolled out a mini-version of it.ĭuring the heyday of space shooters, T?ru Iwatani’s creation stood out as one of the first video games aimed at a broader audience, with a cute story of pizza-shaped character gobbling dots in a maze, colourful (literally!) characters, friendly design, very little violence and everlasting fun.So now you can feed your nostalgia, have fun and decrease your productivity whenever you want - and do it all with a friend. We also added a little easter egg: if you throw in another coin, Ms Pac-Man joins the party and you can play together with someone else (Pac-Mac is controlled with arrow keys or by clicking on the maze, Ms Pac-Man using the WASD keys).įor those who want pure Pac-Man flexibility, the game can be downloaded to be played off-line as well. Google doodler Ryan Germick and I made sure to include Pac-Man’s original game logic, graphics and sounds, bring back ghosts’ individual personalities, and even recreate original bugs from this 1980’s masterpiece. On the Google blog, Marcin Wichary, senior designer and developer for the search giant, talked about creating this version of the classic video game. So as a treat to those with addictive personalities and those who love the simple joy of 1980s video games, Google has created a special page for it. Google had the Pac-Man game-doodle available for 48 hours on their homepage (a full 24 hours longer than usually allocated to doodles), but still couldn’t leave it there forever.
In case you didn’t play it, or didn’t waste enough time playing it, or couldn’t get enough of it, or whatever other reason, Google’s playable Pac-Man doodle is now accessible anytime via this link. By Talib Qizilbash | Arts & Culture | Movies |
