Google celebrates its 19th anniversary with 19 in-browser activities

The appeal of Google’s Doodles is completely lost on me. They’re one of those popular things that I just don’t get the appeal of. Like Coen Brothers movies. Or sunbeds.

Anyway, for those of you who can’t get enough Google Doodle action, boy have I got some good news for you. In celebration of Google’s 19th anniversary, the company has re-introduced 18 games and activities from Google Doodle’s past, and a brand new one.

The titles are accessed via a “Surprise Spinner” at Google’s homepage (you can click the GIF above to go there), meaning not only do you get the thrill of actually playing these games, but also the anticipation of waiting for the wheel to land on one of the least boring ones.

Among the classic titles, you’ll find the Pac-Man recreation from 2010; sports game Cricket Cricket (nope? Me neither); and an all-new version of Snake like the one popularized on the infamous Nokia 3310.

Let us know your favorite in the comments, or head here if you just want to try out Birthday Piñata — my high score is 104.
