To be perfectly honest, I am not sure if the screenshot below is Munchers or Super Munchers.  Either way, this week’s game I love to look back at is Super Munchers, this week’s Old Game That Doesn’t Suck!

Super Munchers is edutainment at its finest.  You are an adorable muncher, a frog-like armless creature that runs around gobbling up items that match the topic.  Once you munch up all the matching answers with the topic you move onto the next level!

Oh ho, it’s not that simple though!  For there are WRONG answers which somehow DESTROY your muncher, goodness gracious we know why we dies from a wrong answer!  And on top of that there are ENEMIES who walk across the screen.  Each enemy behaves differently, like the purple blobish Grimace like character walks only forward and is incapable of walking side-to-side.  Future creatures become smarter, to the point where they almost follow you.

Anyway, the game is fun.  Matching games are always fun, and when you toss in baddies and addictive gameplay (complete with full storyline and love interest!) its a fun distraction.

This is an old, old dos game of old Apple II/ Classic Mac OS game so good luck finding a live, working copy.  However there is always Dos Box emulation for getting your old systems up and running again.
