PAC-MAN Google doodle is a tribute to the legendary game

The grid for for the PAC-MAN doodle spelt out Google and to play the game, a user simply had to press the ‘Insert Coin’ button.

The doodle features the grid for PAC-MAN which spells out Google.

The doodle features the game’s original logic, graphics and sounds, the original ghosts’ personalities, and even recreates the bugs from this 1980 masterpiece.

“PAC-MAN seems like a natural fit for the Google homepage. They’re both deceptively straightforward, carefully hiding their complexity under the hood. There’s a light-hearted, human touch to both of them. And we can only hope you find using Google at least a quarter as enjoyable as eating dots and chasing ghosts. You know, without actually needing any quarters,” said Google in its blog post.

This is the last doodle from the throwback series. Previously featured doodles in the series include garden gnomes, Mexican bingo, a coding game and more.
