Google

[Muban]

Quite possibly the best Google (www.google.co.uk) has done yet :D

[Justsomebloke]

Ditto.

[A Place of Light]

+1.
They all make you look twice, but this one does that more than most.

[Pumpkinstew]

Anyone else tried playing it?
:D

[Briggykins]

Anyone else tried playing it?
:D

Awesome!

[Dee]

Saw it earlier! Genius I tell thee!

[Flibster]

Ok, that just wasted 45 minutes. :D
My pac man skills are a bit rusty, but still reasonable.

Time to fire up MAME I think. ;)

[Blighter]

Hahaha I wonder what work/schools are doing to block this :p They can't really block google ;D

[Goose]

Love it!

[Desmo]

Very clever :D

The geek in me is very impressed that the whole thing (well, almost) is written in JavaScript. I say almost because the sounds are done using Flash, but that's all.

There's the odd bug or two in it though - sometimes the ghosts go in endless circles, and I've walked right through a ghost at least twice. Still, great fun and kudos to Google (and HP, I think) for doing it. :)

Apparently they deliberately re-created the bugs from the original game. Not sure quite what fits into the list, but I've walked through ghosts a few times too.

Gutted.
Got to 53,000 then the doorbell went. :(

[Mark]

So it's another day, and the doodle is gone. :(


But all is not lost. Insert Coin (http://www.ouroboros.me.uk/Google/Pacman.htm) (sorry, no Mute button on this version).

[Nutcase]

Had a quick play yesterday :)

Meanwhile how about this for a google map :)

[Mark]

The truth is definitely out there! ;D

The Pac-Man game Google put on its home page gobbled up almost five million hours of work time, suggests a study.

;D ;D

You make me sick clever tits.

I sent that around work. Add a few more minutes then. :)

[A Place of Light]

[Muban]

I feel like a cat that's easily amused by a laser pointer. Honestly I spent far too long playing with the 'Google' today :o:)

[Kitten]

Can't see it here :( Just the regular coloured homepage.

[Feek]

That's really good! What's it for (apart from fun)?

[Muban]

Can't see it here :( Just the regular coloured homepage.
It starts of like this.....

[Knipples]

Mine at work wouldnt do it either, in spite of me manually typing in the address. Works fine at home though. Very clever. :)

[kaiowas]

I ended up playing around isolating one of the balls then playing "keepy uppy" stopping it going back to the others :p

[Mark]

Bizarre! :eek:

What's that all about then? :dunno:

[divine]

Is it Google's birthday or something?

[Kitten]

Search is 8 years old I think.

[Admiral Huddy]

I'm waiting for the first google in 6 inch heels :)

[Jonny69]

I'm sorry, these are starting to get annoying :/

[Goose]

Aaaaaaand turned it off.

[Mark]

Google Instant? Yeah, gone here too. It's fine for the odd search but when you start getting techie with it, it just gets in the way.

[Feek]

Loving the Edison thing today, the letter G is sending G in Morse code!

[Kitten]

that's kewl.

[Jingo]

Did anyone see the fourty thousand leagues one the other day - you had a little controller and could navigate around under the sea! :D

[Muban]

Yeah I played around with the Jules Verne submarine thingy too :)

[leowyatt]

Really cool one today :)

My favourite quote is :

"For scientific leadership, give me Scott; for swift and efficient travel, Amundsen; but when you are in a hopeless situation, when there seems to be no way out, get on your knees and pray for Shackleton."

[Kitten]

That's cool. I love quotes.

[Tak]

[Desmo]

Annoy everyone in the office today :D

[Jonny69]

That looks like some serious programming for today's one!

[Desmo]

It's even got four track recording :eek:

[Muban]

Today's is grim :p

[Knipples]

Aww I liked today's! :)
