Press the "Insert Coin/Feeling Lucky" button twice and you get 2p PacMan, but it is a fun game and a brilliant idea, although I am gutted the level doesn't change =[

Its Still Here!!!

God I did forget how much this game irritates me.

after the second level it plays a random animation that reminds me of Benny Hill

Aye...This certainly gave me a chuckle when I had a play around with it the other day! Only just missed getting to level two though...Although IMO the "Google" map is a refreshing (And playable) change from the original!

It's still up at the moment, and I'd guess that Google are making a one-week thing of it. For anyone who wants to play it longer term (Or just wants a copy) I managed to locate the Flash application in my cache and have attached it to this post.

That said, it looks to me like the Flash app checks where it's being loaded/called from before running for reasons unknown...So to get it working, ye might have to either play around with cunning rules in IPtables (Or whatever firewall/IP routeing program ye use) or have a go at disassembling or decompiling the Flash file itself to remove the "Where am I?" routine.

I've included a copy of the TCP conversation from WireShark (With private data removed) with the anim if that's of use to anyone, though!

Its Gone! - No More Google Pacman!

I have just tried www.google.co.uk & .com .

The logo is now just plain Google.

Same story on Google Cymraeg...No Pacman game here any more!

Looks like I saved an archival copy of the game [Note: Link opens attachment directly] just in the nick of time!

I got up to 29,960 while it was on the Google front page.

Haven't tried it since. But I do like the old classics; I actually have Columns on my home computer ( I'll have to check tonight but I think my highest score on it was a bit over 3200 on a game I had to abort as it was by then around 02.30.......!!!! ).
