Pac Man
Just playing Pac-Man around Mt. Vernon, no big deal.

For who-knows-how-long, Google Maps includes a weird and inspired Easter egg: you can play Pac-Man on many (but not all) locations on the map, including several places in Baltimore.

As if the Internet werenโ€™t distracting enough!

To try it out, go to Google Maps, zoom in on a location, and hit the Pac-Man-looking square in the lower left. Itโ€™s possible that you will be told that โ€œPAC-MAN canโ€™t play here.โ€ Just move the map around to a different spot and try again!

The only really frustrating thing is that there often arenโ€™t enough of those big dots that let you kill the ghosts to make it very sporting. Oh well. Let us know if you find a particularly interesting place to play.
