Pacman on Google

pacmanOnGoogle

For a change, I looked over google modules for my personalized page.
And I added pacman module just to see how its quality is.

Holy moly!!!
I could not believe my eyes. It has perfect quality regarding gameplay.
I believe it is based on emulation of original ROM more or less.
But, it does not require any emulators.
And I didn't feel any latency against keyboard input.

The release year for pacman arcade was 1980, so 26years' technology made it possible for program to run on the browser not on specific hardwares.

I was also suprised that its author is Danish.

I am wondering about copyright for the original program, but anyway, it is easy to guess the more and more games would be played on browser in the future.
