Fantastic Flash: Google Pac-Man
I'm not talking about the verb 'to Google,' either. If you go to Google's homepage right now, you will find this interactive doodle in honor of thirty years of Pac-Man, which will be celebrated in full tomorrow. Replacing the 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button, you will instead find one that reads 'Insert Coin.'
Unlike previous doodles, which disappear upon day's end, this one will stay around for forty-eight hours, for any who wish to sate their Pac-fever. It also includes sound, a first. While interactivity has occurred in the past, nothing that puts forth an entire game, or has this level of depth.
According to CNET, Google actually worked with Namco Bandai to make this as true to form as possible, with the exception of adding the Google logo.
Can you get to level 255? Yes! The game also encourages patterned-playing, though obviously a bit differently than the original format.
Also, insert a second coin to have a 2UP put on a bow and play as Ms. Pac-Man, using the WASD keys.

Actually it's not Flash as your title implies - HTML, CSS, Javascript and unicorn tears, apparently.
Just me being nerdy.
Thankees. I figured it wasn't Flash, but we unfortunately don't yet have a tag for other interactive website games. Perhaps something over which we can mull and find a new title.
There is Flash used, but it's only for the sound.
How did i missed this. oh my. hopefully they put this on somewhere again so people who missed can try it out. neat
