I saw an article on the sun newspaper on how to do these cool tricks, have a go, the hidden game is cool!
The hidden game
HOW TO GET IT: Search 'Atari breakout' in Google Images
WHAT IT DOES: TURNS your results into a version of the classic 70s Atari arcade game Breakout.
The spinning screen
HOW TO GET IT: Search 'Do a barrel roll'
WHAT IT DOES: SENDS your screen spinning 360 degrees, in a nod to the term made famous by the 90s Nintendo flying game Star Fox 64.
Underwater Google
HOW TO GET IT: Search 'Underwater Google'
WHAT IT DOES: BRINGS up a floating search box and all of your results go plunging into the deep, coming to rest on the sandy bottom of the ocean.
The playable guitarHOW TO GET IT: Search 'Google guitar'
WHAT IT DOES: TRANSFORMS the Google Doodle into a guitar, with pluckable strings. Was released to mark what would have been Les Paul's 96th birthday. You can also record 30second clips of your ear-piercing tunes.
The DOS version
HOW TO GET IT: Search 'Google terminal'
WHAT IT DOES: TAKES you back in time to how Google might have looked back when it was a mess of tech speak. Pretty impossible to use but looks cool for a bit until you get bored and feel like you're back at school on a BBC computer.
The SphereHOW TO GET IT: Search 'Google sphere'
WHAT IT DOES: TAKES all of your usual Google fodder and spins it all in a huge sphere around your cursor.
Google mirrored
HOW TO GET IT: Search 'elgoog'
WHAT IT DOES: FLIPS your screen over so you're looking at it the wrong way around.
The Pond
HOW TO GET IT: Search 'Google pond'
WHAT IT DOES: NOW use your mouse to create ripples across the screen, like one of those old PC screensavers.
The wonky pageHOW TO GET IT: Search 'tilt' or 'askew'
WHAT IT DOES: THIS is probably how results look when you've got a hangover, anyway. Good trick to play on somebody's screen while they're away from it.
Google gravity
HOW TO GET IT: Search 'Google gravity'
WHAT IT DOES: ALL of your icons will collapse, leaving you able to toss them around the screen as if they were floating in space.
