Google hails Pac-Man with retro gaming homepage
A logo you can actually play
Google, which famously changes the logo on its homepage to suit special occasions, has gone a step further to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man.
Out goes the standard Google logo - in comes a playable version of the game.

This 'Googlised' Pac-Man features a whopping 255 levels with sound and graphics based on the Namco original.
Go to google.com for a touch of nostalgia and have a bash. Be quick - it will only stay up for 48 hours. ®

The audio is in a swf file and is triggered by an external interface.
Nice bit of Javascript there...

At any rate, just wasted an hour with some retro feeling. Sweet!
Saving for later playing?
Ah, c'mon - there *has* to be a way to save this - perhaps the big G wouldn't mind issuing a more permanent link to something later on?
Great way to pass the time and a trip down memory lane. Thanks Google
