Convierte en PAC MAN el mapa de tu ciudad.
Cita:When I was growing up, my dad had the best job I could possibly imagine: he was an arcade game and pinball technician. For me, that meant summer trips through PolandÔÇÖs coastal cities with their seasonal arcade parlors; peeking inside cabinets to learn programming and engineering secrets; andÔÇöof courseÔÇöfree games!
One of my favorites was PAC-MAN, whose popularity transcended the geopolitical barriers of that time. During the heyday of space shooters, T┼ìru IwataniÔÇÖs creation stood out as one of the first video games aimed at a broader audience, with a cute story of pizza-shaped character gobbling dots in a maze, colorful (literally!) characters, friendly design, very little violence and everlasting fun.
Today, on PAC-MANÔÇÖs 30th birthday, you can rediscover some of your 8-bit memoriesÔÇöor meet PAC-MAN for the first timeÔÇöthrough our first-ever playable Google doodle. To play the game, go to google.com during the next 48 hours (because itÔÇÖs too cool to keep for just one day) and either press the ÔÇ£Insert CoinÔÇØ button or just wait for a few seconds.
Google doodler Ryan Germick and I made sure to include PAC-MANÔÇÖs original game logic, graphics and sounds, bring back ghostsÔÇÖ individual personalities, and even recreate original bugs from this 1980ÔÇÖs masterpiece. We also added a little easter egg: if you throw in another coin, Ms. PAC-MAN joins the party and you can play together with someone else (PAC-MAN is controlled with arrow keys or by clicking on the maze, Ms. PAC-MAN using the WASD keys).
