PacMan Roads by Google

Recommended Posts

https://www.google.com/maps/@38.0678441,-97.9297744,18z/data=!1e3

Go to googlemaps.com and find streets that are on a grid, then move the map around to choose your game-map by moving your cursor over the pacman logo in the lower left of the screen. Then post your link when you find a good one you want to share!

This one is kinda fun and zany and a bit more playable than I thought it might be: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6451051,-104.8014999,18z/data=!1e3

Here is the same one made bigger and it's actually much more playable and much more fun!

Play this one! --> https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6446342,-104.8019076,18z/data=!1e3

Jesus, I started playing this on my street when I started hearing loud noises while the ground started to quake. I rushed to the window and I couldn't believe my eyes! Pac-man was moving through my street at incredible speeds eating up cars and pedestrians, Its good thing he far from my street now.

I have no idea. I usually use Safari but a nefarious pop up has rendered the browser unusable until I figure out how to reset the tabs from outside of the program (like through a config file or something).

It ended. :( April Fools is over and Google has removed pacman from its maps. :( Why? Why can't they leave it as a feature to turn on and off in settings?

Even though “Pac-Maps” was a huge hit that inspired lists of “must-play” locations (you’ve gotta play Harvard Square)

awww, what the poop, I didn't even think to play this and I'm only a 10 minute walk. Grrrrrr

“Google’s annual April Fools tradition … normally only lasts a day,” Tantalo says. “We’re glad it’s delighted so many people, but it wouldn’t be an April Fools ‘prank’ if it were to stay around forever.” Much better they ensure it remain an April fools prank by removing it rather than it become a feature and thus lose its April fools status. *cough* /facepalm. Great logic Google.

I added Abby DeBellis to my Google Acquaintances and will message her (read: hound her) when she comes online to make pacman maps available somehow, whether as a download or on a separate website or something. She is Community Manager for Google Maps.

sigh

Or you can post in this thread requesting they make it available somehow: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!searchin/maps/pacman$20maps/maps/H2Lq8IEBXNk/toyieNs3ynQJ
