To play the game, go to google.com during the next 48 hours (because it’s too cool to keep for just one day) and either press the “Insert Coin” button or just wait for a few seconds.

Google doodler Ryan Germick and Marcin Wichary made sure to include PAC-MAN’s original game logic, graphics and sounds, bring back ghosts’ individual personalities, and even recreate original bugs from this 1980′s masterpiece.

They also added a little easter egg: if you throw in another coin, Ms. PAC-MAN joins the party and you can play together with someone else (PAC-MAN is controlled with arrow keys or by clicking on the maze, Ms. PAC-MAN using the WASD keys).

Update: Google Pac-Man lives on forever.

Thanks to the hard work of Canadian Brad Smith, he’s remixed the entire album in 8-bit Nintendo glory:

Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon is an all-time rock classic, but that’s provided you’re listening to it on a record or CD, until now.

For those wondering, it’s available for download from the MOON8 project site.

I was sad to see it only comes in a sleeve and not a hard shell case like normal 360 games, but for free I really can’t complain.

It did come with a letter from Kai Huang, the founder of Guitar Hero and a couple promotional posters.

If you want the manual, you can download it from the website. It even says “For Promotional Purposes Only – Not For Resale” on the disc and sleeve which is sort cool.

Anyway, after receiving the game, I pretty much played straight through and finished it for Guitar on medium.

Now I’m in search of other people who have 360′s who also received or will be receiving an early release thanks to the Guitar Hero 5 purchase so we can get some online play going since it will be close to 3 months before the general public gets to play.

If you want to exchange gamertags, comment below and lets get to rocking some Guitar Hero Van Halen.

Overall I think the game is pretty solid. I am bummed that Michael and Sammy are not in the game or songs from the Hagar era, but again, for what the game is, it’s pretty good.

Basically the TV, DVD and VCR combo unit, stereo receiver, 6-disc CD changer, dual cassette deck and two of our gaming systems (Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis).

We can easily switch out our gaming systems if we want to play the 8-bit Nintendo or the Nintendo 64. Today was a productive day.
