Description

Munchkin is a Pac-Man variant. The game plays like other conversions of the arcade game with the player controlling the munchkin through a maze while eating dots. Baddies have to be avoided but by eating special force points the munchkin gets energized and can go after the baddies for a short while. The maze design is a bit different from other versions as it has some dead ends. The player has three lives and when they are gone the game ends.

The game includes a user-modifiable parameter file which allows the player to customize the behaviour of the game. This can be used to make the game easier or harder. The maze design can also be changed although it requires using the program Ed-A-Sketch which was also sold by Software Toolworks.
