#Pac man google doodle series

Google is coming off a strong 2009 in terms of Doodle creativity as well, adding an extra 1 in its name to celebrate the company's 11th birthday and celebrating Sesame Street with a series of colorful designs. Other cool Google Doodles this year included a Winter Olympics series and a tribute to the Hubble Space telescope's 20th anniversary. Google also got its share of publicity by celebrating Pi Day in mid-March in honor of Ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes' first rough approximation of Pi as being 3.14.

Google's previously most buzzed about Doodle this year was its April Fool's gag: The company switched its logo to spell Topeka in a nod to Topeka, Kansas, which earlier had announced plans to change its name to Google in order to increase its chances of having Google wire the community through its broadband plan. 'I prefer to think that Google's beating Apple at its own game by creating a version of Pac-Man that runs nicely on the iPhone without App Store approval,' he writes. The Pac-Man Doodle has generated much discussion and celebration on the Web, though Technologizer writer Jared Newman questions whether Google is taking a little digg at Apple too by providing a version that works on the iPhone and iPad. Google Doodles are the fun artwork that Google sometimes adorns its search engine with. Google says it was overwhelmed by the positive reaction to the Pac-Man 30th anniversary Google Doodle posted on its search site Friday and has teamed with Pac-Man maker NAMCO to give the interactive game a permanent home online.
