North American productivity has ground to a halt today, thanks to the first-ever "playable doodle" on Google's homepage. To honor Pac-Man's 30th anniversary, Google has created an in-browser version of the arcade classic. Clicking "Insert Coin" starts a one-player game; clicking it twice adds Ms. Pac-Man (controlled with A, W, S and D) for a local multiplayer game. Google developer Marcin Wichary says despite the customized gameboard, this version is lovingly accurate: "Google doodler Ryan Germick and I made sure to include Pac-Man's original game logic, graphics and sounds, bring back ghosts' individual personalities, and even recreate original bugs from this 1980s masterpiece."
