The infographic below from Euroffice explains how to find awesome games like Atari Breakout [if you are old enough to remember it, you might recall spending hours on end trying to breakthrough that damn wall] and Pac-Man (for the really old-school gamers). Then there is Flappy Droid, a game hidden in your Android phone, offline games for Chrome and some real nuggets in Google Maps and Google Earth.

Fun fact, did you know Breakout was designed by Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow and created by Steve Wozniak aided by Steve Jobs, yes those two fellas from Apple.
