Google Maps lets you play Pac-Man on various Irish streets right now

Waka, waka, waka

Waka, waka, waka

If you’ve lived in Dublin then you will know that the traffic can be a nightmare.

Don’t get us started on those 18 wheeler lorries that are blocking the roads, the endless rows of cars or the four homicidal gelatinous blobs that constantly chase us though the streets

No wait, that’s not right?!?!

What is right though is the latest innovation by the talented people at Google because they’ve managed to tweek Google Maps so users can play the classic game in a number of Irish locations.

The controls aren’t quite as fluid as they were on our Commodore 64 but it’s still good craic if you’ve a few minutes to spare.

You can have a go here and don’t blame us if you get nothing done for the rest of the night.
