LinkIt's a little tough to play with the mouse (can't use the keyboard), but the damn thing works. It seems to be done with all JavaScript, which is pretty amazing in itself.

LOL If you click the "Insert Coin" button a second time, Ms. Pac-Man shows up on the screen. |

Wow. I didn't realize you could play it. Then after I played it, I thought it was flash. That IS impressive javascript.

Good to see nothing has changed. I suck at it now as equally as I did in 1984.

If Google REALLY wanted to be impressive, they'd allow Ms. Pac-Man to be controlled by another user remotely over the Internet. |

It's really interesting how they did this. Each "sprite" is a DIV element with this image as the background:  What displays in the DIV element is controlled through CSS using offsets. Each "pill" that Pac-Man eats is also a DIV element. On my browser, I turned on image outlines, and I can see these big rectangles moving around the screen. You can see screen artifacts left by the movement in the attached screen shot.  |
