Siya’t tradisyon iti sa Google iti nakasilangan ang pag-uusawa iti Google logo sa homepage sa search engine. Ang nadala iti desengni ti-a iti adlaw kadalas nga eka-aniversary o panag-asa-a iti tradisyonala nga kabahin ti kasarianan.

Most of the time, it's just a play on the letters of the word Google but this time, the entire logo is practically playable.

Just check out this Pac-Man game over at the homepage of Google. Might take several seconds for it to load but once it does, you'll be surprised. This is probably the most interesting of all the Google Doodle I've seen.

@Kevin: HTML5 can’t do that. It uses Javascript and Flash for the audio.

that was the most annoying thing last night, the sound that goes with it. I had to switch to igoogle as my homepage to escape the irritating sound

We even played this in the office. IT can’t accuse us of browsing a non-business related website because we use Google in searches.

Kahit ang tagal na ng PacMan, I can’t still master it. Hehe.. Shame on me!

@Yuga
There’s an easter egg on the site. If you click the Insert Coin button twice, Ms. Pacman will appear and you’ll be able to play in two-player mode.
