Monster Munchers [No. 26] © 1981 Rowtron

A Pac-Man variant for two players. One player must score as many points as possible as the muncher and must avoid the monster controlled by the other player. After charging at a charging station the monster turn blue for a random duration of time and can be eaten by the muncher. Eating fruit will prolong the vulnerable period. When all four charging stations have been eaten the muncher can return to the center of the area to respawn them. The maze has two exit tunnels (one at the top and one at the bottom), which lead back to the center, but when entering the tunnel the player can also use it to quickly turn around and reenter the maze from where it was exited. The muncher has three lives after which the player's can switch roles and see if the other muncher can earn more points.
