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!

why can't I play it?
my children played this and now I want my grandchildren to play
On Windows 10 Pro, it doesn't allow me to download the software even after unzipping it. Please tell me there's another way to do this or they'll be coming out with a newer software version that's compatiblle with this day in age type of computers?!?!?
very fun and educational game
i loved this game as a kid! great way to learn math
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 love number munchers
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.
its can't to run at my pc
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 really love playing this game when I was in elementary school
I try to change the difficulty level, but it says the disk is protected? How can I fix this?
WOOOOOOW... just wow!
So many fond memories I remember playing this on an old Apple 2E with a big old 4" floppy in glorious monochrome green! But IN COLOR!? I'LL TAKE IT!
Cant believe I found this! I played this everyday in school! :D
Seems that Word Munchers isn't here on this site, so here's the ISO:

The first computer game I can remember playing. So much fun.
No more battling for the school's Apple computers to play this!
