You are a green little frog-like monster, a mouth the size of the little box you have walked into, and you eat like crazy. But your diet is regulated, by a category in the sky. And there are other monsters, that can't eat, and instead of eating what you have to eat, they take your food, spit it out as something different, and come after you! Besides, who wants arithmetic when you can have the evolutionary result from pac-man? A smart monster muncher tastes much better than a yellow ball who eats dots, and better than flash card problems and food categories.

And monsters that eat you are much more frightening than ghosts who make you dissolve.
Super Munchers is a game close to my heart.
How else was I expected to learn the difference between vegetables and fruits? How to multiply eight times four quickly enough to get away from the ugly monsters trying to eat me? At elementary school, some of the first things a child learns are to watch himself, and not accidentally run into a swing or someone around the corner. Super Munchers teaches that lesson beautifully, stay away from the edges and the monsters won't catch you off guard when they pop in from the sides. There is a void around you, filled with the unknown, so beware. These are indisputable lessons for a child to learn. Super Munchers is a remarkable tool for teaching children the art of decisiveness, learning from mistakes, and determining a strategy for full speed and effectiveness. These are the ultimate traits of a corporate success, and they are all developed by Super Munchers! Math skills, elimination skills, panic under pressure skills, following directions skills, and lessons like "stay in your box," are the basics college students learn before they go to the office. You're stuck in the Matrix, Neo-green-dude. You must eat. Eat like you have never eaten before!
The upside of this game is that when your eight year ole realizes what the underlying themes are of the games, they will hopefully realize that the office is no place for them. That they don't want to be under the rule of the monster-grubbing bosses, who tell him what he can eat and do all day. Super Munchers is a negative lesson for children, until they grow wise, and wise also beats naive. No doubt.
