and it's actually playable
(Maybe it's the 30th anniversary of Pacman!)

Yea that's pretty cool.

R.I.P.

oh yeah that's nice.

LOL Gren. that's too much

It's cool, but how do you shut off the damn noise when not playing it? It still makes noise even when I'm in one tab and Google is still up in the other tab!

Oh, yes, 2 hands, 2 players mode, at least 2 levels to beat. I know how to PLAY it.

Oh this gets weird. Using IE8 on a Win 7 machine, no sound plays at all and I think all the option settings are the same as the XP machine that IS playing the sounds. Of course in Firefox with NoScript active, no sound. But on the XP machine, IE8 plays the sounds all the time, no matter which tab is active. Anybody know what setting's controlling this one?

Nevermind. There's no sound on any system with any browser now. Google must have been flamed for it yesterday and killed the sound because it would play no matter what tab you had open, just as long as Google was in one of the tabs. Can you imagine the flak that would arise in a business setting where people were using Google as a home page on their computers?

I wonder if this was some kind of HTML 5 experiment by Google. Implementation of that is just starting to take place I've heard.

Still sound and still in all tabs.

Yesterday, the sound only played on the XP machine with IE8, and that was BEFORE you even started the game. The sounds just played on and on in a cycle while it sat there untouched. Now it's quiet on all my machines until you actually play it.
