Happy Birthday Pacman!


Procrastination has been taken to a whole new level today with the Google homepage being transformed into iconic arcade game Pacman, which for the record is 30 years old today.

I always enjoy a good topical Google logo, but this has to be my favourite so far; probably because it’s the first ever fully interactive playable doodle, and it’s had absolutely the desired effect. Everyone seems to be talking about it, playing it, losing at it and being distracted by our little yellow friend. Genius.

(Try inserting another coin to see Ms Pacman join the party. 2 can play using the WASD keys!)
