For kids born after 1996, this game was the game to play on Mac, being in a wheelchair, I couldn't do most things at Recess, this game was a reward for myself, in Elementary School.
I remember this game from kindergarten I loved it so much I hid in a corner of the classroom while everybody lined up to go outside just so I could have some time to myself to play it. True story.
In the DOS version, the music sounds like a Sega Genesis and MANY times the MECC and Learning Company games would be released on the Macintosh later than the DOS version.
This game, man. Beating the cliff-flying level ensured bragging rights for all those of my kindergarten and 1st grade classes. My favorite sounds had to be the dying and game over sounds, shame we don't hear any of those in this video.
Back in 3rd grade me and my friend made it to level 196 and it was a Friday and at brunch and lunch and free time we both spend all day getting up to that level and it was the best game of super munchers ever.
THIS is my version of the game! The way the troggles and Muncher look so real all the way down to the troggles stuffing their cheeks full of muncher when they eat him
Viewing this earlier tonight makes for my first exposure to the Macintosh version being presented in Colour, my old Mac computer from I996 (which has been out of commission since 2005 and sadly no longer with me) only ever presented Super Munchers in Grayscale while Word and Number Munchers (not sure if I had Fraction Munchers on it as well) displayed in Colour without error, so reliving the old days of this game with its intended palette truly does make all the difference. One thing I must point out though is in regards to the audio emulation of the music, I personally recall most of the notes for the backup instruments being played at different points, it's as if there was a desync in this video that was out of the OS or application's control but it is very understandable if it's not being played on its native hardware; wishfully though, the Munchers franchise and virtually all other I98X/Early I99X Macintosh titles could be ported over to PCs that use other Operating systems with little to no need of emulation, some are extremely hard to find nowadays and even if we have them, they are near impossible to play due to major incompatibility issues, it is an era of gaming that truly deserves a worthwhile comeback in the spotlight.
Yep, this is played on the emulator SheepShaver, which has trouble with some of the music on earlier MECC games for Mac (the introduction music to My Own Stories has similar problems).
back at school... in the computer lab 2001 id say, the level ALWAYS CRASHED after mission 1.. we kids were pissed!!!! apple II with the actually "floppy" disk was a hit.. every classroom had these muncher games!!!! MEMORIES!! =D
Oh I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE this game. I remember when I was in elementary and "At Ease" was used as a program manager for the students. It was awesome.
IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS GAME FOR LIKE 10 YEARS! I couldn't remember the name only the scenes where the little monsters hid the key and also the glass jar that gives you powers and it was driving me crazy!
Menories Back in my school days. Funniest thing about super munchers was getting eaten by troggle. "Oh, Oh! You were eaten by a trogglus normalous!" "Oops! You were eaten by a trogglus normalous."😂😂😂😂😂😂
@DragonlordALS Haha, I didn't actually mind it THAT much. I always thought the Munchers games were fun, it was just that last minigame. Glad to have helped. :)
There should be a modified version of Super Munchers with newer celebrities such as Marlon Wayans, Britney Spears, Janet Leon, Madison Pettis and Sammi Hanratty
I don't think there was a single kid in my third grade class that wasn't obsessed with this game. I envied the ones who were really good at the flying thing at the end.
Sooo many memories playing this game....our teacher hated the sound effects...well I guess anyone would when u have 20 plus kids playing at one time hahaha
REALLY wished this version worked on Windows because it retains all the same sounds from the Apple IIe releases, and the animations looked WAY better. This was like Mac and IBM.
First of all, thank you for this amazing upload. I never had access to the Mac version, but I was always very curious to see it. Do you think you could give me instructions on emulating this on Windows 7? Thanks.
@Gernam12 and @MagicKnightUmi: Never been able to figure that out either, since the cliff game is so cheap. I just tried again and... still no luck. For the love of god, Super Munchers...
@BinLadenMustDie368 Yep, but it's pretty nasty-complicated; I'm basically emulating a Mac like you would an old Nintendo. PM me if you want to know more. :)
@1989gamemaster I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you aren't trolling... a piccolo is a musical instrument. You could learn this if you played Super Munchers!

Back when my family couldn't afford a computer and it was greatest thing in the world when I had my chance of playing this in school.
OMG!!!! Yes!!!! Same here!!! This brings back memories!!!
For kids born after 1996, this game was the game to play on Mac, being in a wheelchair, I couldn't do most things at Recess, this game was a reward for myself, in Elementary School.
excuse me lol born in 87 this was apart of my childhood also😂
I was born in 96 and remember this and word munchers in the early 2000s
You have no IDEA how long I've been searching for this!
SAME. holy hell
Goddamn I feel old I still remember playing this game in elementary school.
Old? But I feel young! Imagine having these games online tournaments in 2022
right, same here
Damn 4th grade was 14 years ago
and Playing number munchers
The good years
makes me shed tears
wish I was a kid again in that time period
OMG I remember this game. I used to have an old Mac computer in my house as a kid and I could play this game for hours. Big hit of nostalgia.
I played this game in 1998 at Coral Park Elementary School.
This was the game we all watched that one kid pop tf off and go through like 15 levels like it was cake.
Only one Thing that kid was me!
I remember playing this game back when I was in the 2nd and 3rd grade in my school now I'm 29 and I can feel my childhood return.
I remember this game from kindergarten I loved it so much I hid in a corner of the classroom while everybody lined up to go outside just so I could have some time to myself to play it. True story.
That brings back memories of playing it in the 1990s. I remember having most trouble with the cliff scaling missions

This game, man. Beating the cliff-flying level ensured bragging rights for all those of my kindergarten and 1st grade classes. My favorite sounds had to be the dying and game over sounds, shame we don't hear any of those in this video.
Wow. I remember this game back during my school days.
I remember playing this, Word Munchers, and Number Munchers on the grade school computers back then.
Back in 3rd grade me and my friend made it to level 196 and it was a Friday and at brunch and lunch and free time we both spend all day getting up to that level and it was the best game of super munchers ever.
Gosh I remember this game in the 90's lol
Apparently the Troggles are cannibals because I saw one eat another at 7:50.
Starting 6:57 is a prime example
THIS is my version of the game! The way the troggles and Muncher look so real all the way down to the troggles stuffing their cheeks full of muncher when they eat him
my brain, my memories, this is insane i totally forgot about this game but the sprites and sounds take me back to being a wee lad in the 90's

I have not seen this game in YEARS. I love when the villains eat each other and what happens to your live counter when you make a mistake.
I remember playing this and the munchers games for the Apple IIe.
back at school... in the computer lab 2001 id say, the level ALWAYS CRASHED after mission 1.. we kids were pissed!!!! apple II with the actually "floppy" disk was a hit.. every classroom had these muncher games!!!! MEMORIES!! =D

Damn this brings back memories.
Wow! This takes me back to elementary school
you and me both
Gah, I loved this game! I wish I could still play it (my old mac broke, so I switched to a PC; though I'd switch back if I could play this again).
It would always amuse me how the Troggles would eat each other lol
IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS GAME FOR LIKE 10 YEARS! I couldn't remember the name only the scenes where the little monsters hid the key and also the glass jar that gives you powers and it was driving me crazy!
OMFG! I remember this game! I used to play it aall the damn time when I was a kid!
I used to play this game the most at school when I was little. Nobody I ever talked to about it remembers it
Loved this game lol good memories although it got hard at the end.
I played this game in the early 90's in my ESL class on a Mac. Those were the days.
Menories Back in my school days. Funniest thing about super munchers was getting eaten by troggle. "Oh, Oh! You were eaten by a trogglus normalous!" "Oops! You were eaten by a trogglus normalous."😂😂😂😂😂😂
the flying level was BULLSHIT
Remember playing this during computer class at school and the worst is when class is over and you just lost the cliff level.
Thank you! Beautiful childhood memories!
The way they designed the cliff part is terrible, but this was tons of fun to watch and reminisce about. Thanks! ^-^
I never could get past that part as a kid
This brings back memories of elementary school.
Planets. Pluto.
Oh the memories. I miss you Pluto.
i remember getting to level 141 in this game, i sat their for hours
@DragonlordALS Haha, I didn't actually mind it THAT much. I always thought the Munchers games were fun, it was just that last minigame. Glad to have helped. :)
Yes!!! My childhood. 90's kid
Played word and number munchers in school, had this one preloaded on my first Apple, good times.
What is there to hate about the muncher series? It is like the best thing ever.
Man, this is all I did for indoor recess back in the day
There should be a modified version of Super Munchers with newer celebrities such as Marlon Wayans, Britney Spears, Janet Leon, Madison Pettis and Sammi Hanratty
the nostalgia.
I played this in elementary, around the first time I learned about Netscape Navigator.
RIP
This game seemed so much harder in grade school
I was super young when I tried to play this game and the monster things just absolutely scared the shit out of me
@ukhistorian The Secret Island of Dr. Quandry! Glad somebody else remembers that one.
I think I had this back in second grade when my mom bought our 1st computer. McIntosh days
@Napostriouf I sure learned a bunch about brands of cars.
Wow, this is pure nostalgia. Where did you find this?! I want to play again NOW!
I don't think there was a single kid in my third grade class that wasn't obsessed with this game. I envied the ones who were really good at the flying thing at the end.
I love how the troggles eat each other what cannibals. XD
Same.
I remember this game. It weirded me out when I was a kid.
Sooo many memories playing this game....our teacher hated the sound effects...well I guess anyone would when u have 20 plus kids playing at one time hahaha
I remember that game I used to play in class during freetime in school
Last time I played this was when I was 11 back in 6th grade. I'm now 31. Oh, nostalgia 😭
I remember playing this game……. It was so much fun……
REALLY wished this version worked on Windows because it retains all the same sounds from the Apple IIe releases, and the animations looked WAY better. This was like Mac and IBM.
wow. incredible childhood memories unlocked
I am just past words right now.
Played this a kid back in the day!
AAAAGH NYOOO *curls into a fetal ball, the horrid memories flooding back*
I played this back in my elementary school day's!
I played this in middle school back in like 2001.
First of all, thank you for this amazing upload. I never had access to the Mac version, but I was always very curious to see it. Do you think you could give me instructions on emulating this on Windows 7?
Thanks.
Dang it, never got to see the ending to this game.
Oh, and we had The Secret Island of Dr. Quandary on our classroom computer too! I'd forgotten about that one.z
The music is so jank, I love it. ❤️❤️❤️
This bring back memories
The good ol days
One of the first games I ever played.
@Gernam12 and @MagicKnightUmi: Never been able to figure that out either, since the cliff game is so cheap. I just tried again and... still no luck. For the love of god, Super Munchers...
Does anyone know where I can get this game and how I can play it on my updated Mac?
I could crap myself; this is so nostalgic!
. . . How did I almost forget about this?
I'm glad I watched long enough to see your entries in your Super Munchers "Hall of Heroes" lmfao
Wait I actually watched this whole thing
Haha this game is so old it still has Pluto as a planet.
God i feel old
@BinLadenMustDie368 Yep, but it's pretty nasty-complicated; I'm basically emulating a Mac like you would an old Nintendo. PM me if you want to know more. :)
O_O Oh my god. The second I heard the music everything came rushing back. This game used to be awsome.
I still have the original DOS version.
@1989gamemaster I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you aren't trolling... a piccolo is a musical instrument. You could learn this if you played Super Munchers!
There should be a hacked version with newer trivia questions
I havent been able to find this game anywhere :( where did you find it?!)
Check out Macintosh Garden (keep in mind these files will only work on an old Macintosh): macintoshgarden.org/games/super-munchers
I LOVED THIS GAME!!!
this game was my best friend as a kid =)
Someone is creating a Super Munchers ROM Hack
Super Munchers Platinum
Hermoso juego... Me encanta
Aaahhh! The nostalgia! It hurts! :D
MEMORIES!
fun game. I prefer the older graphics though (DOS version, or using a monochrome monitor with black and green!)
Using the mouse makes the cliff game more possible.
I laughed my ass off when you got eaten by a fuckin' troggle. It's like the most douchiest thing this game has ever done too.
2:02-2:07
i’m pretty sure Elba is an island.
The pink "Bashful" troggle looks like Michael Moore, which is weird.
Fuck! I love this game.
