I think the google banner games are simply brilliant.. The pacman birthday one rocked too..

I think it's covered here. We should probably make a Google Doodle group to track all these games. Does anyone remember the doodles during the Olympics? Google Doodle Soccer was fun.

There are a few missing:

^46th Anniversary of Star Trek's 1st Broadcast is a very short interactive away mission, should qualify no?

Hm, shouldn't the games we already have here be renamed to how they are properly titled on Google page mentioned above by djindio?

Google Pac-Man -> 30th Anniversary of PAC-MAN

Frank Zamboni Google Doodle -> Zamboni

etc.?

Often at time of release (when they are documented) their name is not so explicitly known and we have to come up with our own.

True. But now we know the real titles.

Wouldn't hurt to send in a title correction and see what the admins have to say about it.

Any one of you guys every try the games at google apps? It's a sad, sad place to be. Most of them haven't been added here though. Er. I think.

For the love of gawd, someone please add this game. This must receive the highest priority of attention! For all our sakes!
