They were popular among American schoolchildren in the 1980s and 1990s and were the recipients of several awards. The two original games in the series were Number Munchers and Word Munchers.

Number of IP addresses: 30,000 Number of servers: 3,000+ 3 months free with 1-year plan. Great revision in mental calculation, using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. 4 levels of number questions.

Description of Number Munchers

In the designer's own words about this popular children's title: 'You, as the energetic green Muncher, run around a grid eating prime numbers while being chased by wicked and hungry Troggles who eat you if they catch you. One of MECC's all-time best-selling titles, it's basically just very entertaining flashcards based on the classic Pac-Man model.'

Like IBM's early classic Adventures in Math, MECC took a KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid), route to edutainment for Number Munchers, and pulled it off with a game that's very easy to learn, but very captivating for its target group (kids ages 5 - 12).

A great game that will keep your kids entertained for a long time while brushing up on their algebraic skills. Thumbs up!

My school must've had an affinity for MECC games because I remember this game as well as Snap Dragon and another Munchers game (Super Munchers, I think). I love how every fourth level completed leads to a cutscene where the Muncher outsmarts the Troggle a la Looney Tunes, but I STILL hate seeing the Muncher get eaten by the Troggle.

I use to play the MAC version of this game but I can't find that version for windows dosbox anywhere! This version I couldn't get to run on my dosbox witch is sad.

I remember playing this game in grade school (I don't think they even still call it that, lol). This, Word Munchers, and Oregon Trail.

I played this in school lab so much. We had the Apple ][ version but this looks exactly the same. Graphics were great for the era. For an even older math game for basic math, try AstroGrover!
Watch out for the Troggles!

I try to change the difficulty level, but it says the disk is protected? How can I fix this?
