Pacman on google homepage?

[StanScratch]

when after all the years have passed of women having the vote will we see pacwoman, or is she too busy looking after the pachouse, and making pacman his paclunch?

Nah, I could never see anything like a "Ms. Packman" or something like that ever catching on.

 

[Ace Bandage]

Awesome, thanks! That must make you feel a lot less lonely, eh?

You're not kidding. It was a little awkward for awhile... :shy:

 

[turtle825]

Cool.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

I saw this on Google, too. Thought it was just a banner, and then next thing I know I was getting my wakka-wakka on.

Awww. C'mon over. We'll cuddle. You can be the big spoon.

 

[slasher]

I just saw it a little bit ago and played a round. :nanner:

 

[D-rock]

Have they ever revealed what Pacman was supposed to be or is he just some round guy that likes to eat spheres?

Booya, I passed four stages! This game is in the hall of awesomeness. :thumbsup:

Agreed

 

[LukeEl]

No need to feel sorry since I was the one who should have done a search before creating a thread.

Oh by the way, for those who may not know, you can also play 2 player. Just hit the "insert coin" button twice. One player uses the arrow keys, the other uses the WASD keys (Player 2 is Mrs. Pac-Man). We have been having fun at home all day. Great use of JAVA IMHO.

I was excited when I heard about this yesterday. So I tried it and realized: Oh yeah, I hate pacman.

He came from when the Japanese guy who developed the game was eating pizza. One slice was missing and he noticed it looked like a head with a mouth open. Originally he was going to be called Puckman but American merchandisers or whatever thought it would be too risque to use in arcade stores due to vandalism of going from Puckman to Fuckman.

That is how Pacman was born. Mrs. Pacman was made by college programmers when they tweaked the difficulty level, pattern movement of ghosts, and whatnot. To avoid legal conflict they put the bow on her head and all. It was so popular that it was eventually bought up by Pacman studio and they lived their lives on easy street.

Well that does explain his origin outside the game but it still does solve the mystery of what he's supposed to be, unless he's a really cheesy pizza turned vertical. :dunno:

I thought the homepage was really fun

 

[~~whimsy~~]

They should have kept it on. It made me go back to google daily...

It was a special treat.

Don't tell anybody, but I may or may not have had a hand in creating that.
