Search 'Atari Breakout' in Google Image Search and Return to 1970s

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception



Google has brought the arcade to your image search window with its newest celebratory Easter egg game.

It is the 37th birthday of the classic Atari game Breakout and if you type "Atari Breakout" as a Google image search query, you can play the 1970s brick game inside your browser.

The tiled image results shrink to form the layers of bricks as the bouncing ball emerges from the bottom of the screen. You can use a mouse or keyboard arrow keys to control the paddle.
When you rack up your best score, you can share it on your Google+ page from inside the game.
