Creating playable Games on Google Maps

Wow! I’ve been BoingBoinged: Google Maps, Reloaded: Animated Mozillas and Gnus attack Redmond.
In the previous Google Maps hack post I was pondering how easy it would be to create a playable game on Google Maps.
Intelligent Artifice comes to write “It’s a New Genre about to be born! I predict a dedicated conference in 2006.“
So I created a Games on Google Maps wiki page for collecting ideas (and implementations!). Contribute to it, if you like! And if there will be a conference “Real Games on Real Maps”, I would really like to be in the committee. ;-)

Pac-Manhattan would be good for this:
