Google maps has Pacman!

[Ed.D]

Just looked up a local business location on Google maps and see Pacman runs through the street map! To start it just click on the little Pacman icon on the lower left side of the screen.

April Fool's day is the greatest for random fun web things.. not sure if it's a worldwide "holiday" or not?

No joke Frederick, It's on Google.co.uk at least (I am not one for doing practical jokes or pranks.)

Oh damn, that one is not there anymore. They had google mirrored horizontally there on April 1st

Just tested it on Chichester and worked fine. So funny being able to play Pacman on the roads you know well.

Also tried with Fishbourne, where I live, but discovered the roads benefit the ghosts more than the player as they are too long, meaning when you are being chased by 3+ ghosts and exit one side the ghosts at the back are wise enough to break chase and change direction to catch you coming back onto the screen.
