You may have run out of Internet on some occasion and you have passed the time jumping with the T-Rex of Google Chrome. This is a mythical game, but Google hides some more that you may not even know existed, much less how to find them.
We are going to review all the games that Google hides so that you can find them and give them a try.
Snake
To access this game simply type “google snake game” in the search bar and this browser game that we once spent so much time playing on our rugged and primitive Nokia phones will automatically appear. Using the arrow keys you will be able to make the snake eat fruits scattered around the stage and it will become bigger and more difficult to control without colliding with the edges of the screen or against itself.
There is also a version of Snake for Google Maps . In this, the snake is replaced by trains or buses and you can choose different cities in the world, such as London or Cairo. Here the objective is to go collecting (eating) travelers to increase the score.
Dinosaur
We mentioned it before in passing and we assume that you have ever come across it, but if not, the T-Rex in Google Chrome is one of the simplest and coolest browser pastimes (although its appearance indicates problems with Connection).
When you get to the ‘no internet connection’ page, instead of a simple error message you will find a picture of a dinosaur, press space and start playing. The objective is to avoid the obstacles that appear in the side scroll and as your marker increases, so will the speed of movement.
Pac Man
Google is not a restricted search engine, and although you can play by typing “Pac Man”, it also works with other commands such as “ play pac man ”. It is considered the first great worldwide success of video games. Developed in the 80s, it continues to generate addiction in everyone who tries a game. The objective is very simple, you must control Pacman so that he eats all the points (Pacdots) without getting caught by the ghosts. In this case it is the original version created by Namco with the same graphics and sound effects.
Ghosts roam freely through the maze in which you find yourself. So you’ll have to use the arrow keys on the keyboard to handle it and run away while you eat all the points in the maze. Each point eaten adds points, and you also have other larger mega points, which when you reach them give you the power to eat ghosts for a few seconds.
Google Earth Flight Simulator
You need Google Earth installed for this one. In this variant of Google’s three-dimensional browser, you’ll be able to feel like a real pilot by having the flight interface enabled in the 3D vision of Earth.
To activate Google Earth Flight Simulator, simply open Tools and click Enter Flight Simulator or use one of the shortcuts: press Ctrl + Alt + A (Windows) or press ⌘ + Option + A on Mac. Choose one location and start flying. You can even pilot with a joystick , or a mouse and keyboard. There are two ways to exit the flight simulator:
- In the upper right corner of the screen, click Exit Flight Simulator.
- Press Ctrl + Alt + A (Windows) or ⌘ + Option + A (Mac).
run, draw
Google’s online drawing game Run, draw! it is based on a neural network and uses Artificial Intelligence to guess what players are trying to draw . With each new drawing it sees, the AI improves its guesses and thus you also help the program to train.
The game has been built using machine learning. When you draw something, a neural network tries to guess what you are drawing. Obviously, it doesn’t always work; but the more you play, the more you will learn. “It already recognizes hundreds of concepts and we look forward to adding more in the future. Our goal is to show an example of how machine learning can be used in a fun way.”
doodle cricket
Originally released as a Doodle, this game developed by Google in which cute snails and grasshoppers battle in a cricket match is still preserved.
Use your keyboard to control the bat and earn points by hitting the ball. There are multiple levels and difficulties, with the goal being to score as many runs as possible.
