“Despite sharing stage time with Adobe just this week, a playable version of Pac-Man on the page works with both the iPad and iPhone — revealing that it’s not using Flash,” Electronista reports. “Apple’s phones and other touchscreen devices instead use swipe gestures to steer the classic arcade game.”
Electronista reports, “Although it goes without a plugin, it still includes most features of the Namco original.”

MacDailyNews Take: Google’s Pac-Mac tribute is on their index page here.

Sound is in Flash, though
Google is friendly
Google is not friendly

Google should look up Schizophrenia.

Maybe they should Bing it?

Cripes I’m deaf! That was far louder than I would expect from a web site. At least it didn’t shout “You’ve Won!” at me…
Like I said in a post just a little while ago about the new Google/Adobe “alliance”, welcome to the fire Adobe, I’m sure it’s going to be much better than the old frying pan you were in.
Adobe, you’ve been Flashfried…
Click Insert Coin twice to add Ms. Pac-Man. Control her with the W-A-S-D keys.
It’s great on the iPad – no noise!
Sound is NOT in flash.
I run click2flash, and can hear the sounds without activating any flash component.
Just like the guy you meet on the street who says “trust me” Google feels compelled to say “don’t be evil.” Fuck Google!
Don’t you people have volume keys/buttons?
What’s more concerning is that it’s Pacman’s 30th birthday. Talk about making you feel old! I can remember when it came out. To borrow a quote from Doc Brown: My god, has it been so long…
If Adobe thinks that Google is their new BFF, they better think again.
Actually, Irish Dude, it’s looking more like this:
Micros**t is the enemy
Google is the enemy
Adobe is the enemy
Palm is the enemy
Dell is the enemy
Sony is the enemy
HTC is the enemy
Verizon is the enemy
MSNBC is the enemy
Nokia is the enemy
Ryan Tate and Brent Arends are the enemy
Dvorak is the enemy
Bono is the enemy
HP is the enemy
Flash is the enemy
The list is practically endless.
Any person who looks at Apple wrong is now our enemy apparently, or least a pathetic fool. Any company NOT Apple is doomed to fail and any product NOT an Apple product is a steaming pile of bat guano.
I’d just like to hear again how Micros**t is so horrible because it screws its allies and always thinks its right.
@ Nobama – that’s called capitalism. Y’know, competition? What companies are supposed to do? All business partnerships involve a degree of guardedness, because today’s partners can become tomorrow’s competitors. Apple is hardly unique there.
@Another Irish Dude
YOU should look up Schizophrenia.
Just to let you know –
Despite the etymology of the term from the Greek roots skhizein “to split” and phrēn, phren- “mind”, schizophrenia does not imply a “split mind” and it is not the same as dissociative identity disorder (previously known as multiple personality disorder or split personality), a condition with which it is often confused in public perception.

@ Nobama
Microsoft is still a competitor.
Google is a competitor … seemingly floundering while lost at sea.
Adobe is both feckless and uncaring competitor, to be one is bad, but to be both is scary.
Palm was a competitor(see HP).
Dell is a waste of time, space and motion.
Sony is sadly irrelevant.
HTC is a thief, as time will tell.
Verizon is at present a bargaining chip but a future partner.
MSNBC is owned by Microsoft 18% a competitor and NBC Universal 82% – therefore a competitor and a partner.
Nokia is an incompetent competitor.
Ryan Tate and Brent Arends are both pathetic fools or muppets –
(http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=muppet)
Dvorak is a narcissistic bloated bag of gas.
Bono is not only sad git, but also a shocking investor.
HP is a saucy condiment used for breakfast. As a OEM competitor they are irrelevant, as a future mobile OS provider, they may be astride a show pony … Time will tell if they can leverage PalmOS
Flash is owned by Adobe and thus, lacks solicitude.
@ SKY LARK
schizophrenia |ˌskitsəˈfrēnēə; -ˈfrenēə|
noun
a long-term mental disorder of a type involving a breakdown in the relation between thought, emotion, and behavior, leading to faulty perception, inappropriate actions and feelings, withdrawal from reality and personal relationships into fantasy and delusion, and a sense of mental fragmentation.
• (in general use) a mentality or approach characterized by inconsistent or contradictory elements.
Sums up what I was saying.

YOU should look up Humor.
I bet you’re fun at a party…
Keith,
That’s sweet!!!
Thanks!
I’m with Sky Lark. Another Irish Dude is perpetuating the myth of schizophrenia as split personality disorder. The popular “definition” has arisen from this misconception.
Micros**t is the enemy
Google is the enemy
Adobe is the enemy
Palm is the enemy
Dell is the enemy
Sony is the enemy
HTC is the enemy
Verizon is the enemy
MSNBC is the enemy
Nokia is the enemy
Ryan Tate and Brent Arends are the enemy
Dvorak is the enemy
Bono is the enemy
HP is the enemy
Flash is the enemy
Nobama is the enemy.
Snub? That’s the point to providing a web browser on all Apple Mobile devices.
And why Adobe’s ‘Walled Garden’ argument is full of it.
Developers Choice 1:
Anyone can provide any content to an Apple Device through the web, if your Web App supports web Standards you’ll have no problems. And it will be available on any other device that has a standards based browser.
Developers Choice 2:
Want in on possible revenue from selling your application through iTunes ? Here are your guidelines…
Simplistic games and applications always could be done with Javascript. Flash was required to go far further then what JS could do. So why exactly would Google use Flash here if it’s simple enough for JS/HTML? And while you think about that, please try to answer how this would be an action against Adobe?
