Sick.

Google has come out just in time for April Fools' Day to re-introduce its Maps tribute to Pac-Man.

Yep, if you go to maps.google.com, you'll notice two icons at the bottom left, one for Google Earth and the second for Pac-Man.

Select your city of choice and then click the Pac-Man icon to start playing in a section of said city.

Places such as the area surrounding the Taj Mahal have been described as perfect places to play the novelty game.

The app also works on the Google Maps app for iOS and Android, as well as on desktop.

In a blog post last year, Google said: "With local place information and Street View, it's easier than ever before to find where you're going but there's never been anything to let you know where not to go.

"With this update, we've added imagery of dangerous virtual beings, starting with Pinky, Blinky, Inky and Clyde.

"When navigating fruit-filled streets, determine at a glance which turns to pass to evade ghosts and get where you're going safely," wrote Michelle Luo, product manager at Google.

"When you're feeling a bit peckish, you can simply gobble up a few pac-dots or a cherry and keep on nommin'."

On April Fools' Day in 2014, Google transformed the Android and iOS versions of Google Maps into a Pokémon game, which allowed users to move around the real world and catch characters from the game.
