It’s been a month since Google celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the video game Pac-Man.
According Google VP Marrisa Mayer, Google was “overwhelmed” but “not surprised” with its success.
So, due to the great demand, access to the interactive Pac-Man doodle is now permanent and can be accessed at:
Notes:
1) To begin a game, click the “Insert Coin” button, it’s located where the “I’m Feeling Lucky Button” is found. If you want to play with two people, click the “Insert Coin” button twice. Additionally when two players decide to go at it, Ms. Pac-Man joins the fun.
2) Want to / Need to mute Pac-Man’s sounds? No problem. A mute button is located in the lower left corner of the game. Click to toggle it on, click again to toggle it off.
3) From the Google blog, “Pac-Man is controlled with arrow keys or by clicking on the maze, Ms. PAC-MAN using the WASD keys.

I went to a retro cafe recently and they had an original pac man game! Correction – Puck man. Apparently the original name was puck man until someone added their graffiti, changing the p to an f. So then the name was changed to pac. That’s what the man in the cafe told me anyway
I don’t know where the graffiti took place though.
