- A few random notes to make playing MUNCHER more enjoyable:
-
- Sound and Color
- ---------------
- MUNCHER has lots of sound effects and flashy colors. Sometimes the
- sound can be a nuisance, and on some monitors the colors are
- unreadable, so ways are provided to get around these minor
- problems.
-
- To suppress sound, put "/NS" in the command line (can be upper or
- lower case.)
-
- To suppress color (desirable with composite monitors,) put "/BW" in
- the command line.
-
- Examples: MUNCHER /NS Kill sound effects
- MUNCHER /BW Kill color
- MUNCHER /NS /BW Kill sound and color
-
- Sound CAN be toggled on and off (regardless of whether the game was
- started with the "/NS" option) by pressing the F3 key while playing
- the game.
-
- Color CANNOT be toggled back on after starting the game with the
- "/BW" option. You must restart MUNCHER to get the colors back.
-
- Game Speed
- ----------
- You can change the speed of the game using the F5 and F6 keys. F5
- SLOWS the game down, and F6 SPEEDS it up. The current game speed
- is displayed near the bottom left corner of the playing screen.
- The range is from 0 (very slow) to 15 (fasten your seat belts!) So
- you can play the easy screen at a fast speed, or try out the harder
- levels at slower speeds. I suggest you use F5 or F6 to select your
- favorite speed before actually playing the game. Do this just
- before you press an arrow key to start the MUNCHER moving. Try it
- - it's easier than it sounds!
-
- Scoring
- -------
- You get 5 points for each note the MUNCHER gobbles. On the easy
- screen, at speed 11, I've reached 360 points, and that took about a
- zillion tries. I'm not much of a game player, but I sure have
- gotten hooked on this little number. Enjoy!
