Google celebrates the birthday of classic Atari arcade game Breakout with a hidden Easter egg in its image search.

Google is renowned for its Google Doodles, used to celebrate anniversaries and other events in the calendar. But today they have done something a little different to mark the 37th birthday of the classic Atari video game Breakout.
