Pacman
Pacman has been a classic arcade game for decades, and it also has a hidden version that you can play with Google.
To enjoy this game you only have to enter the word Pacman in the search engine . And you will arrive at this game that fully preserves a retro aesthetic and music as if we had gone back 30 years. The game is the same as always, you have to eat the little balls and escape from the ghosts . Because when something works there is no need to change it.
Snake
If you owned a Nokia in the early 2000s, you’ve probably spent hours playing snake. But you may not know that you can play the game anytime, anywhere by simply typing snake game into Google.
In addition to the Google game, which is virtually identical to the one on older mobile phones, there is also a version for Google Maps , in which the snake is replaced by buses and the game takes place in cities such as London or Cairo.
Dinosaur
The Chrome dinosaur has become a myth. It will appear automatically when you try to use this browser without an Internet connection , and it will help you stay entertained while you regain access to the Internet.
But what many people don’t know is that it’s possible to play the dinosaur game even if we have Internet. To do this, we have to type the URL chrome://dino . Then you will have to press the space bar when it tells you to and you will have the game at your disposal.
Google Earth Flight Simulator
In order to play this game you need to have Google Earth installed . Once inside this application, go to Tools > Enter Flight Simulator, and you will be able to feel like you are a pilot flying through the different places that we can find on the map. You can play with the mouse or with your keyboard, but you can even connect a joystick so you can feel like you are really flying. And by doing it in three dimensions the sensation is totally realistic.
Pinball
Google is very fond of replicating classic games , and that’s why the ever-present pinball couldn’t be missing from this list . With a retro look reminiscent of arcade machines, you can go back to those days when these machines occupied your time.
To play, you must first tap the Tabs section several times in a row from the Google app . But if this doesn’t work or you prefer to play on your computer, you can also access the game directly via this link .
Quick & Draw
We could classify this game as a slightly more updated version of the popular Pictionary , although with some variations. The game will tell us words that we will have to draw with our finger or with the mouse , although the first is more comfortable. And it will be the game itself that will try to guess what we are drawing. We will have won if we manage to guess the word in a time of 20 seconds.
It is available in Spanish but also in other languages , so it can be a very fun educational tool for children and adults.
Zerg Rush
This is one of Google’s oldest games, but just like the dinosaur, it never goes out of style. It consists of little O’s of the word Google that fall on our screen, and we have to catch them all before they disappear.
To play, you only need to type the words Zerg Rush into the search engine . The letters will appear directly above the search, so you won’t have to go to any new screen. Access is as simple as the game itself.
Doodle Cricket
This game was born as a doodle, but if we search for the words Doodle Cricket in the search engine we can still find it, although it is important to be careful because there are many copies that are just as fun, but with advertising everywhere.
What we find in this game is a cricket match in which snails and grasshoppers face each other . It has several levels and difficulties, so even if you get the hang of it, it will progress so that it always represents a challenge for you.
Atari Breakout
This game is another great classic from the 80s arcades. Its mechanics are simply a ball that we have to direct with our mouse so that it breaks the bricks and destroys the photographs that appear at the top.
To access it, all you have to do is type Atari Breakout in the search box and click on the first search result that appears. The game is quite entertaining and increases in difficulty so that you don’t get bored.
Lonely
We finish this review of Google games with the classic solitaire. To access it we simply have to type the word Solitaire in the search engine, and before the search results a button will appear in case we want to play. When we click on it we will find two levels, easy and difficult . And once we have chosen the one we prefer we will simply have to start enjoying the game. We have all played solitaire at some point, so you probably know the rules , and all you have to do is try to beat the machine.
