Happy 30th Birthday PAC-MAN

Today marks the 30th birthday for our beloved classic 8-bit arcade game PAC-MAN. Google one of the greatest innovators of our time has put together a nice surprise for PAC-MAN fans to honour this celebration. Just head over to Google’s home page and insert coin to start playing! Insert coin twice and discover another birthday surprise.

Prepare yourself for some 8-bit entertainment.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Wait for the game to load upon visiting Google’s homepage.
  • Click on Insert Coin to start the game.
  • User arrow keys on keyboard to navigate.

EASTER EGG

Click on Insert Coin twice and MS PAC-MAN will join in on the fun for some 2-player game action. You can control MS PAC-MAN via the WASD keys on your keyboard.

WARNING

The game is extremely addicting and will make you go WAKKA-WAKKA out of your mind!

Google PAC-MAN

This has been a blast so far today and there is no sign of me stopping. Just try playing PAC-MAN and MS PAC-MAN at the same time all by yourself! It’s so fun.

Until next time, Happy Birthday PAC-MAN!
