That is just so damn awesome!

Looks like they're pushing how they plan on doing browser-based applications, including games. Though, they're doing it a day early, since Pac-man was released on May 22, 1980.

It's a little clunky with some of the turn controls, but a good work-distraction ;)

In Australia it's the 22nd :)

Christopher5845d ago

Good point about the date in Australia :)

Hit "Insert Coin" twice and you get a simultaneous two-player version with Ms. Pac-Man. AM.AZ.ING.

Yes good job for them just replayed it again.

Yep dude, I was like "WTH? This isn't flash?!" (Right click on it and it won't say adobe flash".
Amazing.....But a little annoying that there's no mute button.

html5? THIS IS XHTML

otherwise it wouldn't work on IE, html5 and CSS 3.0 are still in development phase

NexGen5845d ago

Yeah...no. html5 is already in use on many sites, including Google which had a redesign last week. MSNBC, Google, and others are using html5 instead of flash, and have been so since pre-ipad release.

You haven't seen the whole "I'm Steve Jobs and I hate flash" commentary?

haha just spent 20 mins playing it and forgot what i was going to search for.
