Google Pac-Man is a delightful tribute to the legendary arcade game that took the world by storm. Originally launched as a Google Doodle, this version retains the original charm of Pac-Man, where players navigate a maze, gobble up pellets, and avoid (or chase) colorful ghosts. With its nostalgic visuals, simple controls, and addictive gameplay, Google Pac-Man remains a fan favorite. You can enjoy this timeless game free online with no download, no login, and no installation required—just press play and start munching!
