Believe it or not, Pac-Man turned the big 3-0 on Saturday. And to honor the video game character’s anniversary, Google replaced their logo with a fully-functional version of the arcade classic late last week. Fortunately, even though Google has reverted back to its normal self, Pac-Man is playable on a newly dedicated page.

The game contains 255 levels, along with the well-known glitch in the 256th level. Additionally, a second player can control Ms. Pac-Man with the “WASD” keys.
