Yay Pacman

No one loves web Easter eggs more than Google, and over the years they’ve pulled off a lot of the best we’ve seen. Like a fully-functional Pacman Google Doodle, which is still available here.

Robots!

Type about:robots into your address bar in Firefox to get the lowdown on Your Plastic Pal.

Kitkat.com

“View the source” Easter eggs are always fun. On KitKat.com, view the source to see the famous logo.

Google in 1998

Go back to the 90s with retro Google search. Simply google “Google in 1998” to get started. Bonus: no ads.

Skybet’s Look Busy Browsing

Using Skybet at work? ‘Look busy’ by clicking the icon above the Facebook share button on the right hand side of the page. Perfect.

Pterodactyl

Another great view-the-source Easter egg, this time from the legend that is TheOatmeal.com.

Dr Who Tardis

The tardis outside Earls Court tube station on Google Maps is a true British classic.

Blank Page

Just as bizarre as the similarly-named blank pages in school exam booklets…Wikipedia's entry for Blank Page.

Atari Breakout

If you’re a fan of retro gaming, you’ll love the fully playable Breakout game available via Google Images. Just search for “atari breakout” for instant addiction.

Blink HTML

Hey, remember back in the day when this was one of about ten HTML tags? Turns out it’s no less annoying now. Annoy yourself with a blast from the past by typing “blink html” into Google.
