Google has always celebrated important dates by depicting them in its Google Doodle like Michael Jackson’s birthday, happy holidays wishes and many more.

This time Google is celebrating the 30th anniversary of an arcade game of its time Pac-Man. Pac-Man was first released in Japan on 22nd May 1980 and later went on to become one of the most played game in US in 1980s.
