Happy Birthday Pac-Man!!



Today Pac-Man celebrates it's 30th anniversary. Developed by Namco, Pac-Man was first released in Japan on May 22, 1980.



For the 30th anniversary of its release, Google changed its homepage logo to a fully playable version of the game being the first fully interactive Google logo.
