Google is Making the PAC-MAN Doodle Permanent
Happy Monday, guys.
That Google PAC-MAN doodle was incredible, right? Everyone had so much fun and despite most Doodles only sticking around for 24 hours, this one was in place from Friday to Sunday. We were sad to see it go but it turns out our tears were shed too soon. Google is keeping it!
That's right, google.com/pacman will now host the game that soaked up 98 percent of productivity this past Friday. Now you can play it whenever you like. Oh and for those of you wondering, it's not just the game, search is there too. So set your homepage to google.com/pacman and get next to no work done every day.

LOL. Sweet.
w00t!!!
Awesome. Its so fun playing with my little brother.
Also, makes school a little easier.
Sweet!
Is it time to start a thread for high scores? I have been playing for years and am ready to post. Anyone with me?
BTW lets go FLYERS!!!!!
I think you can even play it on Android based phones too (but it's more challenging because you can't use the track ball)
Yay!
Google listened to my prevoius sugestions!
Maybe Google can make more mazes. Can Google be translated in different languages? Or find some other way of making something that pertains to Google and make it a maze. Maybe the word "Browser" or "Operating System".
Sweet!
Dude!
Dude!
I know! What does mine say??
awesome! It was fun to play. I had not played in years... I have been too busy playing Modern Warfare 2 on my eyefinity setup (three 23inch Acers at 5760x1080)
. I just made a knife throwing montage check it out www.youtube.com/delanoche21
I enjoyed it, pretty cool to see that they plan on keeping it.
I think they should make more games
I hate to say it, but Pacman and its successors were the girly games at the time. As a guy, you really didn't want to play this game, or be seen playing it.
It's kind of funny how even video games had that stigma. Defender, for example, was a "macho" game, in contrast to Pacman. I have no idea how these things are made up, but I do remember it existing.
Awesome! Now everyday can seem like Friday
Heeee

Yes, how do these happen?
From what I understand, Halo/CoD are for sissies, and Crysis Wars/Battlefield are macho.
Good job Google. You surprised millions and put a smile on our faces, even the ones who weren't even born when the game was made.
yeay
They oughta make the maze a different word for google in different languages/scripts everyday.....imagine going across Google in Urdu....or Greek....
awesome game! ah the nostalgia!
Kudos should go to neilnh who pointed us in the direction of the link to the permanent page yesterday, sorry Jane.
www.google.com/pacman
awesome xD
we can all play pacman at school now
whooohoooo.....I am so happy, what the heck am I doing here!! Google Pacman here I come!!!
I get "next to no work done" nearly every day. How would this make it different?
(I am here in case of emergencies, so I do nothing most of the time, then have sudden and major work to do for an hour to day or two, then back to boredom for a couple weeks.)

So what if you enjoy playing both Crysis Wars, and Halo? Metro-Gamer?
This just in. www.google.com/frogger does not work. Lets get them to change this!

Too bad there's still the old timers that believe these "rot your brain"...as they gaze completely motionless at the TV watching baseball for three hours straight.

What the H are you talking about? At the time, no girl would be caught within 100 yards of a video game arcade. ALL the games where for boys. And the lines for pac-man always long. Ms. Pac-man is another story.
The best part of that day was a co-worker asking "is that Mario?"
I kid you not, and the rest of us didn't let him live it down all day.

What are you speaking of? I grew up in the late 70s 80s. All of my friends played Packman and Mrs. Packman. It was NOT considered a girly game.

lol sometimes I think complaining/bullshitting on the internet gets so thick you can cut it with a knife. This game was out when we were kids and didn't need to worry about being macho or not lol. Defender is a macho game? I remember in the 80s I was at a girl's house and all the girls were playing Defender. None of these games are gender based man you must be on some serious pills lol.
Thank you baby Jesus! 4 pounds 6 ounces....
