In Honor of Pac-Man's Thirtieth Anniversary, Google Does the Icon Proud

Google sure knows how to throw an anniversary party. In honor of Pac-Man's thirtieth birthday, Google has replaced the front of its search engine with a cool new Google Doodle that turns the logo into a classic Pac-Man maze. It gets better. The Pac-Man maze is playable. All you need to do to play is go to Google's front page and either click on the insert coin button or wait a few seconds. Then, Pac's off and you are in control. In fact, two people can play co-op Pac-Man on the Google Doodle if you tap the insert coin twice.

The Pac-Man Google Doodle is actually more than just a little playable Pac-Man game.
Google went so far as to recreate the personalities of all four ghosts.
The Pac-Man Google Doodle even has the level 256 kill screen.

The Pac-Man Google Doodle will be live for the next two days.
Give it a go. To be perfectly honest, it is so awesome.
And be sure to post your high scores in the comments.
Let us know if you hit the kill screen.
