Google celebrating PAC-MAN 30th Birthday


As usual Google celebrates known and unknown occasions on its own way. This time it is remembering old PAC-MAN game that used to be famous in the eighties, at least I used to play it at that time on my Intel 8086 PC!
Although this can be qualified as ancestor game however it revives nostalgia for some people. To know more about it you can check this wikipedia article.

The concept of celebrating such occasions, was discussed in an interesting article that appeared on CNN few months ago."For Google, doodles are oodles of surprise" tells the story behind this idea.

Update: "Chomp! Pac-Man, the arcade classic, turns 30" a new arcticle on CNN talking about the 30 years old game.
