Google Pac-Man-ifies Google Maps for April Fool's Day

Google's April Fool's Day jokes are legendary in the tech community. Google manages to make their jokes funny without being mean or upsetting, which is a real feat. This year's joke tops all the rest, though!

Go to any big city's Google Maps page. (Like the map of Seattle!) In the lower right-hand corner you will see a Pac-Man button. Click it and presto: you can play Pac-Man on the streets!

The only down side is, you can't memorize the level like you can with regular Pac-Man. I memorized the first three Pac-Man levels back in the 80s, and I still have them ingrained in my brain.
