30th Anniversary of PACMAN

Today, the 22nd of May, marks the 30th Anniversary of the popular game developed by Namco and released by Midway in 1980.

The game needs no introduction or explanation – everyone knows what it is and how to play it. Prior to it’s release, Space Invaders and Asteroids were THE games to play. But Pacman took over, with much merchandise, an animated TV series and more than 30 variations of games where the Pacman characters appeared being released.

Google has paid its tribute by updating their homepage with the following logo:

The best bit being is that you can actually play the game too! TRY IT!
