Synopsis

Munch Man is a video game written by Jim Dramis for the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A home computer and released in cartridge form by Texas Instruments in 1982. Based on Namco's Pac-Man, Munch Man includes several variations that modify and enhance the gameplay. Dramis later wrote Parsec for the TI-99/4A.

The player controls the Munch Man using the keyboard or joystick. Like Pac-Man, the goal of a level is to visit each part of the maze, but instead of eating dots, the player fills the maze with a chain pattern. Four Hoonos (the equivalent of Pac-Man's ghosts) attempt to thwart Munch Man's efforts to complete his mission. However, Munch Man still has his "Energizer" (Pac-Man's equivalent of a powerful pill) which gives Munch Man the ability to devour Hoonos. The game ends when the player's lives are exhausted.

At levels 20, 40 and 60, the maze is invisible and there are no chains. Instead, Munch Man must eat all the TI logos in the invisible maze. This gives the strange effect of presenting the maze at the start, but slowly hiding it as the player removes indications of the maze paths by eating the TI logos.
