Yesterday's Easter egg from Google is far from the first gaming Easter eggs that the company added to its homepage. Google has once featured "Pac-Man" on its page, where users can play the arcade game. The Google version of the game was released in celebration of the game's 30th anniversary.
Other games that were featured on the Google homepage were "Starcraft's Zerg rush," "Konami Code," and "Barrel Roll." One of the company's famous Easter eggs is 2014's April Fool's real-life "Pokemon" hunt in Google Maps. Users can get their own Pokemon by zooming in on the maps, and clicking "catch." According to Forbes, Google's former subsidiary, Niantic labs, is creating a "fully fleshed out version of that basic idea," together with Nintendo.
Fans cannot wait to see what the company will offer next for its Easter egg hunt.
