Google Honors 30 Years of “PAC MAN”
Michael Augustine
Who says that you cannot have fun while you work? Google has worked hard at eliminating the bureaucratic nature of business and has endorsed and environment in which everyone loves what they do. During the month of March, SEO Specialist Online introduced to you, “Google: The Inside Story,” a day in the life of the search engine giant where you personally get a glimpse at what it is like working at Google. Google took the time to show in the attached video that having fun is important to a successful career.
Today was a prime example of that belief, when the search engine giant honored the 30 year history of “Pac-Man,” a personal favorite game of mine when I first garnered interest in the information technology profession. Google modified their logo to display a Pac-Man game board with the Google trademarked name. By clicking “Insert Coin” on the Google home page, the Pac-Man game board comes alive and you move the little “Pac-Man” around via the arrow keys on your keyboard.
The video below shows our hero in action against those pesky ghosts, obviously the player needs some practice but really, nobody is perfect. Celebrating the anniversary of Pac-Man not only honors a legend, but it draws visitors to Google to use the engine along with having fun playing “Pac-Man.” Hurry for this great opportunity will expire soon! Thank you Pac-Man, Thanks for the memories, and thank you for helping shape our future in information technology!!
