Google’s Early April Fool – Play Pac-Man on Their Maps
 |
Now this is clever synergy. Find a Google map of somewhere that’s close enough to show the streets, and a Pac-Man icon will appear in the lower left corner (as seen above). Click it to play the game on that grid.
You’ll do best if you find a map where the streets are oriented straight-up north/south/east/west – otherwise, the arrow keys get a little confusing when it comes to the angles. The goal is really more to have fun with favorite areas than make a super-playable game, I suspect.
But it’s also easier to get the cherry than in any Pac-Man I’ve ever played before.
