Pac-Man's 30th Birthday

[wulfhunter667]

Here's something interesting. Today is Pac-man's 30th birthday. 30 years of pellet munching, ghost hunting/avoiding and yellow merchandising.
To celebrate this, Google.com has a doodle on it's homepage that is an interactive playable version of the original game.
Who knew you'd wake up and be able to play a classic video game on Google? I know I didn't. It takes me back a bit.
I remember eating Pac-man cereal, watching the Pac-man cartoon and playing the Pac-man mini arcade game, the one that looking like a miniature version of the actual stand-up arcade game.
I can only hope when Donkey Kong's Birthday comes around, they do something similar.
So, Happy Birthday Pac-man! And thanks for 30 years of great memories.

I just scored 3,333,360

No, but seriously it wasn't until 1999 (19 years after came out) that someone got the first perfect score. When was the last game (non-online) that it took someone longer than three months to get the perfect score, let alone 19 years? I guess scoring the highest point doesn't matter to people that much anymore.

I wish I could be good at Pac-Man, but I can't break 50,000.

We went to the computer lab today at my school and my teacher was annoyed that Google did that, since half the class was playing Pac-Man the whole hour.
