From my experience, it's not remotely easy to recover much from any of google's pages, in terms of code.
And, awesome rip!
Most of Google's pages, including sites they own like Youtube, are coded in HTML5. HTML5 can be opened up and looked at in most webrowsers and notepad/coding software like Notepad++ (that's the one I use). Like I said, Google keeps archives of almost everything they've ever posted, including Google Doodles (the special logos they use to celebrate different holidays, birthdays or events).
Marcin Wichary and Ryan Germick were the two guys at Google who made the Pac-Man anniversary doodle, and they used a combination of HTML5, Javascript and Flash to create it. They wanted to recreate as much of the original arcade game's logic as they possibly could. They not only wanted the visuals, sounds and basic gameplay recreated, they wanted to include the ghosts' personalities and bugs/quirks from the original arcade version. They seemed to have done a pretty good job as far as I've seen. The sprite sheet they made for the game was simply part of the web page.
Also, thank you.
