Google and its many doodles has done it again! With its 30th anniversary slated for May 22nd, Pac-Man continues to be the king of all game videos. Pac-Man wasn't necessarily the first but Pac-Man was the household name that registers and still rings true to millions of us around the globe.
Google and its market dominance is great at sharing its doodles with other cultural icons. Pac-Man is really the first household electronic name that registers with many a babyboomer.
Wikipedia reports "Pac-Man (Pakkuman) is an arcade game developed by Namco and licensed for distribution in the U.S. by Midway, first released in Japan on May 22, 1980."
As a marketing genius, Google celebrates great triumps and cultural icons by incorporating its logo - its doodle with other great events and places and people. So too with the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man.
The Google doodle of Pac-Man is another celebration of two great household names that millions of people share in common. Once again kudos is owed to the team at Google for celebrating with us another great 21st century past time and source of great pleasure!

World-Traveler,
Brings back fond memories for me too! I had forgotten about Pac-Man - with Twitter and emails and YouTube. Interestingly, Pac-Man wasn't the first but they were the first best that the general public such as a non-gamer such as myself enjoyed.
I've been wondering why pacman keeps popping up on my screen. Now I know. Thanks.
lmmartin,
Only you! You are terrific! Thank you for stopping by!
Although I didn't have pacman pop up on my screen as Lynda encountered, I did wonder why John King was playing pacman on CNN the other evening! LOL Now I know, Goldie, thanks to you! Great read!
Ann Nonymous,
Interesting point how Google hits on all the cultural front - John King!
Hub Pages is my pac man addiction. Love it here.
Thank you so much for your kind words.

Hello Goldie
Your story reminds of the days I used to play Pac-Man. Both Pac-Man and Google have come a long way. Thanks again.
