I have a story about this:
We (my class) were supposed to be working on our essays. So out teacher left us use the computers for some information. So we all head to Google.ca. When we see the logo we all immediatly stop working and play. I was at the back of the class so I could see all of their screens playing Pac-Man. Being and owner of Pac-Man on 3 different systems, I did well and got to the 7th level, then failed. I kept playing the whole class but everybody else got frustrated and went on to work.
So that is my story.

The Google one glitches a little too much (I went through a blue ghost when I should have eaten it). So I'd have to say our arcade version.

There's just one thing bothering me about this, and I for one can't believe Google can have such an oversight. When the game begins it steals the cursor's focus. How could they overlook something like that?!

Sadly, I never got to play the game. I watched the video and by the looks of it, I think I could make it as far as either the ninth or tenth level. Once at the tenth either lose the game or quit out of boredom. Looks fun though... if only new versions of Pacman could be released in the arcade so we could get them. I am surprised Mrs. Pacman isn't in it by the way.

And what's this about Ms. Pac-Man? There's a two-player mode in which Ms. Pac-Man is controlled with the W, A, S, and D keys.

Have anyone else noticed how bad the AI is? I just sat there and the ghosts got me after 137 seconds (which is 2 minutes and 17 seconds). And it took 6 seconds of trying to get hit to get hit.

Oh, I thought it was Flash.

And I made a discovery. You can click where you want to go. And if you play it on Google's Pacman page, you don't automatically search for PAC-MAN 30th Anniversary.

It's good to put that up, even though it's the 30th anniversary of Pacman. The game was put down 2 days later.
