Happy 30th anniversary, Pac-Man :)

Wow, hard to believe it's been 30 years today.

I was surprised to learn of this when I got multiple e-mails from an arcade mailing list I'm on telling everyone of the playable Pac-Man game that they have on Google's homepage. For anyone who missed it:



And if you press the 'insert coin' button when it starts up, Ms. Pac-Man will also appear for a second player to control! Use WASE keys (I think) to move her...or WASD or something...

So, I went to play a game of it on my Jakks Plug It In and Play unit to help commencerate the anniversary. Did awful ;D So a few pics might do a better job of that...

t-shirt I shoulda worn today (I guess)



Retro Arcade Featuring Pac-Man unit, which has the original, Pac-Man Plus, Super Pac-Man, and Pac & Pal on it, along with several other games (12 total)





Happy wakka wakka wakka, or whatever

Hey Witchfynde, good spot! - I missed it on the day, but for those of us who missed it: www.google.com/pacman/ - it's still there and wacka wacka playable

Yeah and with nowhere near as many people knowing where the game is now, the lag when playing isn't as bad; me and the nephew were playing it the weekend it went up and we quit after playing one game for half an hour, it was taking forever! Then a week or two later after it disappeared from the Google homepage we were able to make it to the first key It started lagging a bit after we kept on clearing levels, but still way more playable than before though.
