Over the years Google has slowly added more and more cool things you can do with its search bar.<\/p>\n

While typing “barrel roll” and “askew” into the search bar is fun for a couple of laughs, did you know you can also play full games?<\/p>\n

We took a look at the best ones below:<\/p>\n

\n

Pac-Man<\/h3>\n

Originally brought to life as a 2010 doodle instead of a search bar game, you can play the arcade classic Pac-Man right in your browser.<\/p>\n

All you have to do is type “Pac-Man” into the search bar and the game will pop up allowing you to play.<\/p>\n

\"pac-man\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Breakout<\/h3>\n

Typing in “Atari Breakout” into Google Images will magically transform the results into an old-school video game console and will let you play Atari\u2019s iconic 1972 game.<\/p>\n

\"atari\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Zerg Rush<\/h3>\n

In honour of the classic StarCraft strategy game, you to can defend yourself from the relentless Zerg onslaught.<\/p>\n

Type the term into your search bar and prepare for plenty of bug killing.<\/p>\n

\"zerg-rush\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

T-Rex<\/h3>\n

Our personal favourite, typing in T-Rex Game to the Google search bar will allow you to take control of the error mascot in a side-scrolling adventure.<\/p>\n

\"t-rex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Flight Simulator<\/h3>\n

While Google Maps is an incredibly useful tool to help you get about and street view is sweet for helping you spy on your neighbours – they’re not the best part of Google’s topography app.<\/p>\n

It’s the fact that you can fly over it all in real time in Google’s take on flight simulation.<\/p>\n

\"flight-simulator\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Roll some Dice<\/h3>\n

Need some help deciding something or just some help for family game night?<\/p>\n

Simply type “Roll a Dice” into the search bar and you have a handy six-sided die.<\/p>\n

\"roll-a-dice\"<\/a><\/p>\n
