Web giant Google features today a playable logo in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man's Japanese release.

The doodle (Google's term for its event and holiday-specific logos) is accessible on its main page and is a full 255-level game complete with a 256th level "kill screen," just like the original coin-op.

The interactive doodle -a first for Google- is the brainchild of senior user experience designer Marcin Wichary, whose earliest exposure to Pac-Man came at age five while traveling across his native Poland with his father, a game technician, to repair arcade machines.

Wichary worked with Google doodler Ryan Germick to create the finished design.
