The Google Pac-Man game, also known as the Google Doodle Pac-Man, is an interactive version of the classic arcade game Pac-Man that was created by Google as a playable doodle on their homepage. It was released on May 21, 2010, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original Pac-Man game.
The Google Pac-Man game featured the iconic maze and characters from the original game. Players could control Pac-Man and navigate through the maze, collecting pellets and avoiding the ghosts, just like in the original game. The game had all the familiar elements, including power pellets that allowed Pac-Man to temporarily turn the tables on the ghosts and bonus fruit that appeared at certain intervals.
What made the Google Pac-Man game special was that it was playable directly on the Google homepage. Users could simply click on the doodle to start playing the game. The game also included two-player functionality, allowing users to play with a friend by clicking on the "Insert Coin" button, which added Ms. Pac-Man to the game.
The Google Pac-Man game was highly popular and received widespread acclaim for its faithful recreation of the original game and clever integration into the Google homepage. It demonstrated the interactive and playful nature of Google Doodles, which are temporary modifications of the Google logo that celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and other notable events.
While the Google Pac-Man game was initially intended to be available only for 48 hours, due to its immense popularity, Google made it permanently accessible on a dedicated website called "Google Pac-Man." This allowed users to continue playing the game even after the doodle was removed from the Google homepage.
The Google Pac-Man game remains a memorable example of how Google creatively engages users with interactive and nostalgic experiences through their doodles.
