Google Maps lets you play Pac-Man


SUPER COOL: A screenshot of the Times Square area of New York in Pac-Man form on Google Maps. Google added the option to convert its popular navigation service into the Pac-Man videogame in celebration of April Fools

WASHINGTON: Google’s mapping service rolled out a gamefied version inspired by the classic Pac-Man, turning the real streets of a city into a labyrinth to gobble up pellets and ghosts. 

A Google spokeswoman said the game was an early April Fool’s joke. It allows users to play the game featuring the popular character created in 1980 in select locations.
