This ReadMe file contains: Playing Instructions Troubleshooting Tips How to Contact Technical Support ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To play Math Munchers Deluxe: 1. Choose to play the game with Troggles or "Troggle-free". The Troggles and Cookie (the girl with Muncher Treats) wonÕt appear in the "Troggle-free" game. Troggles are nasty creatures; they try to get in your way and eat your Muncher! 2. Select a grade level on the remote control at the right side of the screen. Choose a topic and then click on the boxes to select or deselect the skills youÕd like to practice. Choose to see the facts in order of difficulty or in random order. Press OK to play. 3. Move the Muncher with your mouse or with the arrow keys. Click where you want the Muncher to go; click again to munch. Or, use the arrow keys to move and the space bar to munch. The type of targets to munch will be listed at the top of the screen (e.g., Primes, Numerator of 2, Equal to 5, etc.). 4. Munch a correct answer to earn points and try to get in the Hall of Fame. Choose a wrong answer or cross paths with a Troggle, and you lose your Muncher. To avoid the Troggles, press the X key to jump over them (hold the X key down while the Troggle approaches), move to a Òsafe zone,Ó or eat a Muncher Treat to become Òinvincible.Ó 5. The pause button lets you take time out. Clear three boards and enjoy the escapades of the Muncher and Troggles in TV-land. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hardware Requirements: 68040 required, Power Macintosh recommended System 7.1 or later 5MB RAM required, 8MB highly recommended 13" or larger color display required (640x480x256 colors) Double-speed CD-ROM drive required ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: 1.

A: There are two types of installations: the recommended installation takes 10 MB space on your hard drive; the minimum installation takes 31 KB. The recommended installation provides the best game performance. Q: I may need to remove Math Munchers Deluxe from my machine sometime in the future. What did the installer put on my hard drive? A: If you are using Macintosh System 7.1 (or later, but before System 7.5): On your hard drive, there is now a folder called Math Munchers Deluxe. The following files are in this folder: Munchers Deluxe application Minchers.MMS PICTDISK.PIC SNDDISK.SND These things are in the System Folder: System Folder: Extensions Thread Manager (v. 2.1) Sound Manager (v. 3.1) System Folder:Control Panels Sound (v. 8.0.5) System Folder: Preferences A file called Muncher Preferences was created at application launch. If you are using System 7.5 or later: On your hard drive, there is a folder called Math Munchers Deluxe was created. The following files are in this folder: Munchers Deluxe application Munchers.mms PICTDISK.PIC SNDDISK.SND In the System Folder: System Folder: Extensions Thread Manager (v. 2.1) System Folder: Preferences A file called Muncher Preferences was created at application launch. Q: As I was playing Math Munchers Deluxe, all of a sudden the screen froze / the machine crashed. A: Make sure you have enough RAM available. First, We do not guarantee our products to run with RAM-doubling software. If you are using it, disable it and try running the game without it. Second, make sure that you have no other applications running, such as word processors and screen savers. Third, turn off ÒThird-party shellsÓ such as KidDesk and AtEase. Turning off extensions may help with your RAM situation. DonÕt use the Shift key at restart--that will turn off ALL your extensions, including those you need for this program. See the instructions in your Macintosh user's guide on how to turn some, but not all, of your extensions off. Math Munchers Deluxe needs the following extensions: Apple CD ROM (or third-party CD-ROM extension) Thread Manager (from the install) Sound Manager (from the install, only on pre-system 7.5) Q: My picture is too small / displays goofy colors. A: Most Macintoshes are automatically set to 640x480x256 colors. If you have a third-party monitor (e.g., Radius, Mirror Technologies), you may need to find the control panel for the monitor and set it up there. Call your monitor manufacturer for details.
