Pretty cool.
I noticed that Logo last night, but didn't think anything of it.
I especially like the button "Insert Coin".
Nice touch!

I thought that google would have had to get permissions to use it, but
I am pretty sure that Bally/Midway was quite happy to let them do it.
It uses a javascript emulator that they likely got a piece of from the
boys over at MAMEDEV. The Z80 emu-code is not that big.

How many levels of the game did you play to prove that it is not the
same? ZERO.
How many did I play to know that it is the same? ALL OF THEM.
You gave it a cursory glance. You lose.
I gave it a well seasoned upright video game arcade veteran looking
over. Something you'll never be able to do.
My first job in electronics was fixing them for a major distributor and
those years were also the heyday years of upright gaming. I saw every
game that was ever in an arcade back then cross our thresholds.
There were several iterations, and many had more aggressive pac men
after you, just as this one does on subsequent levels.
It is the same code with changes made that modified the field shape and
size and corridor configurations. Nothing about the game engine changed,
and it runs under the java script emulation engine just fine.
YOU are the idiot, as usual.

Nice sig, Williams... fits you perfectly.
The original DID have levels, idiot. They are levels of achievement.
You are too stupid to have caught that as well though. That much is
obvious. Note the little fruits that get acquired as each 'level' is
played off. Can you really be so stupid that you did not know about
this?
There were several iterations of the game as well, idiot. The one they
used was not the original release at all, but the more aggressive,
subsequent one. There were releases with different playfield levels as
well.
Grow up, Williams.

Yawn....
After getting into a pissing contest recently with a user (who appears
to be a complete sociopath), I decided to lay low for this one.
In college, we had some guys who could play the Original Pac-Man
pretty much non-stop.
They had figured out (memorized) how to move the joystick to win every
time.
I recall that if you watched those little guy's eyeballs carefully,
they would look in the direction they were about to turn.
This gave the player an advantage, if they knew the trick. (And could
react accordingly.)
There were a bunch of other little tricks and quirks, that I've
forgotten since those days.
I didn't check the Google version to see if they eyeball trick still
applies.

Archimedes, I'm only going to say this once.
From this point forward, I will not respond to any of your posts.
I've had enough of your shit bedside manner.
You get on here and just rag on anybody and everybody - for what
reason, I do not know.
And frankly, I don't care. You're probably old enough by now to
figure out that you intentionally come across like an asshole.
Your kick-the-dog syndrome mentality is not exactly an endearing trait
that warrants further mastery.
No doubt you will disagree. That's fine.
Note that I am not even talking about whether you happen to be right
or wrong on any particular topic.
Your attitude is so fucking caustic, that I just don't give a damn if
you're right.
Congratulations on marginalizing yourself.
You may reply if you like, but do not expect a response.
For the others posters, I did find this little write-up on that bug in
the code:
This analysis describes the issue about the ghosts reactions.

Like I give a fat flying fuck about what you read or respond to.
You are fucking wrong. It is that simple.
One has to look at where one is going to navigate the maze. One cannot
spend time trying to look at the ghosts' eyes.
You are a goddamned liar, not just a mere idiot.

I used Google at least a dozen times that day, and never saw the
Packman game. They were talking about it on the news, but I guess I hit
the wrong servers.
My mother loved to play Packman. She would sit up all night playing
it, when she was too sick from chemotherapy to sleep.

There were different patters of ghost movement for each "level", the mazes
were all the same. Face it AlwaysWrong, you are *always* wrong.

Eh. Sure i played, i could get to one or two keys most of the time. ISTR
that it got really hard after 7 keys and the monsters/ghosts quit turning
