Overview

Math Munchers Deluxe is an action-puzzle edutainment game developed and published by MECC for Windows PCs and Macintosh computers in 1995, with later re-releases by The Learning Company.

A sequel to the 1985 game Number Munchers (and its Fraction Munchers spin-off), Math Munchers Deluxe features a highly-animated cartoon re-design with voice acting. In the game, players guide the titular green creature Muncher as he walks around a 5×4 grid and eats the correct dots (representing numbers, mathematical expressions, shapes, or other visual representations) based on the correct mathematical criteria. Along the way, he must avoid a variety of enemies (known as Troggles), if they are enabled.

The game was later used as the base for both Word Munchers Deluxe and Trivia Munchers Deluxe.
