You do get five lives before you’re done, instead of the usual three, which helps.īut it’s even more fun to put in notable addresses and run around landmarks in the world. Like the White House in Washington D.C., where you get to cruise like a drunk Secret Service agent through the driveways around the president’s manor. It’s fun to play your home turf, though in the Indian Village neighborhood where I live the angled streets make for difficult dot-devouring, ghost-fleeing routes. Enter an address, click the Pac-Man screen at the bottom left of the Google Maps page, and get ready player one! This is the deal, see: In the spirit of April Fool’s Day, Google tricked out Google Maps today so that you can play the classic arcade game anywhere in the world. Pac-Man just died five times in front of my house, around the corner and down the block in my neighborhood in Westminster.Īnd it was great, even if Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde came into my ‘hood and kicked my tail without much trouble at all.
