Haha, you beat me to it you rogue! I'll concede.
Click "Insert Coin" and you can play. Arrow keys are directions.
Awesome.
The sad part is that my kid doesn't have a clue what it means...sigh.
He should Google it.
I forgot about the warp tunnels until I had 6 dots left!
Hell yea! The fact that you can play is AWESOME!
I saw it earlier and did not know it was playable, very cool. Glad it didn't cost me a quarter like it used to.
Thank you google.
There goes my production for the day.
they do the same kind of thing for the Star Craft anniversary.
to create Starcraft versions of all my favorite games. THe best was Mechwarrior II: Mercenaries, Starcraft Edition. Holy crap that had a lot of triggers.
Anyhow, point is, I'm sure the wizards at google can come up with a way. Maybe you have to find what you were searching for before the Zergling rush.
on insert coin is Ms. Pacman. 3 clicks, both are on screen, you control the one with arrows, the other with WASD.
And, once again, thanks to MGoBlog, my whole office wont get any work done.
Guys, can you post the link?
Unfortunately, in this instance, it doesn't bring you to the home page's game.
So great to see Pac Man! Reminds me of my childhood and the local coney island in Southgate that kept their machine in working condition through the 90's.
Oh joy stick you are missed, not the same with keyboard arrows...although still very entertaining.
game sites are blocked by my worksites server, but google is not. So, I am soaking up as much gametime as possible while I can. DIE, PINKY, DIE!
Sometimes I forget that not everyone is a worthless bum.
to be worthless. Yay, ego!
god this is awesome
Definately Awesome, my production is gone for the day.
Thank you, Larry Page. Thank you.
I do have an original table top pac-man in the basement. People love it when they encounter it for the first time.
when PacMan was the ultimate video game... even better than PONG!
...it made me long for the old days when I could while away my time at work playing Free Cell. Oh wait, mgoblog is today's equivalent of Free Cell.
and this..the first cheat book,
This is surprisingly awesome. Nice work by google. They should do this kind of stuff more often, and I'm sure they will now. This, my friends, is the future.
flashbacks!
This is awesome!
I kid you not. Mrs. Pac-Man too! WADS to control Mrs. Pac-Man.
Can't believe Pac-Man is 30.
What a great Friday time waster. Too bad my reflexes aren't what they were back then.
Google's overlord behavior was getting me down, they throw something totally awesome like Pac Man into the mix. You are forgiven, overlords. Please continue stealing packets from those who don't protect their networks.
and it's ok, I'm mildly offended they blocked cougar dating sites on SafeSearch too.

World productivity today, -7000000%
Dont forget, to celebrate the Pac Man Cartoon as well. Classic early 1980s cartoons.
I got my son one of those $20 game controllers at Target that has many of my favorite arcade games from the '80s: Pacman, Galaga, Pole Position, a several others. Hard to believe that what once required a huge console for a single game is now in a hand-held unit with about 10 more.
And, even though Wii, xBox and PS3 are just awesome, there's something very simple and familiar about the old games that are almost more fun to play.
So you could just put your money in and play. Some of the games today require a PHD in engineering to play.
What happens if I'm feeling lucky??!?!?!
Who remembers the unspoken rules of vido game etiquette?
This involved taping a thin string (sweing string) to a case quarter and slowly lowering the quarter in the machine while still holding on to the string.
Once you would hear the quarter register, you would keep pulling the string back to let it register again until you had an insaine amount of credits, you pull the string and the quarter drops in.
If you got away with it...you played like a king, if you got caught you were kicked out, banned from that place for a very long time!, sometimes worse!
good times, good times!
But I was too busy playing Pac-man! Saw that it was on Google here first though. Late kudos!
...and scored 5530. Beat it!
Also, anybody else aware of the "perfect pac-man" guy? I think they made a movie about him.
As further testament to the awesome of Larry Page and Google. In case you didnt see this earlier in the week:
