How About a Game of Pac-Man on Arlington Streets?

By DENNIS ROBAUGH (Patch National Staff)

Want to play Pac-Man on Arlington streets? The popular 1980s video game has come to a street near you thanks to Google Maps. As part of its April Fool’s Day fun, Google Maps will allow you to zoom into any city and play a hometown version of the famous arcade game.

Gobble your way past Arlington High School, The Regent Theater, and the Uncle Sam Memorial Statue.

Just click on the little Pac-Man icon in the lower left corner of your screen. If your hometown is too boring, pick an exotic vacation destination. Paris, perhaps. London or Madrid. You’ll hear the familiar music and sound effects, and the colored ghosts will chase you.

Enjoy.
