Apparantly not in the most recent IE, you need Chrome for it to work?

It works in my IE9; also in Opera (though it says I need to use a more modern browser).

That's what it said in my IE9, and tried to get me into Chrome.  Hmmm...

Interesting! I'll have to mess around with it more when I get home and can actually play sound without annoying people.

It wouldn't do anything for me in Firefox :-( Gonna try later at home and see if it likes me then.

Worked fine for us (a co-worker an me) on Firefox ver12 on a win 7 machine. The delay was a bit strange though. Had other people wondering what in the hell we were up to. Great fun and can't wait to try out at home but perhaps I'll use chrome at home instead.

Weee, got it to work at home. I guess work needs to update Firefox  :-P

For me, it would not work in Camino, but worked fine in Chrome (of course!) and Safari.

That was the best thing ever. And now it's gone.  :cry:
 
Does anyone know if it can be found somewhere else?

All Google Doodles (http://www.google.com/doodles/finder/2012/All%20doodles) are preserved online.  You won't have seen them all, as some were only displayed in certain geographical areas.

Here is the direct link for the Moog (http://www.google.com/doodles/robert-moogs-78th-birthday).

Took me a while to figure out that I shouldn't click on the keys but type on my keyboard, but once I did it got a lot more fun!
