ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:

MUNCH!

This game is very easy in concept. After reading the on screen instructions, press your trigger to start. When your cookie is on the screen, move the cursor (flashing box) to where you want to start eating. The object is to get 2,000 points without eating the poison raisin, which is randomly placed in the cookie.

If you win, the computer will show you where the poison raisin was. Don't press your trigger down constantly because your bites won't be big enough. The joystick is used to move around, and the trigger is used to take a bite. If you just want to see where the poison raisin is, enter 'GOTO 300'.

STORY AND INSTRUCTIONS FROM TITLE SCREEN:

An ex-friend gave you a cookie with a poison raisin in it. You decide to eat this harmless looking cookie. (Until you croak after it’s too late.) Use the joystick to move your mouth around, press the trigger to munch away!! If you get more than 2,000 points, you win the game, if you’re not poisoned by then!! Press trigger to start.
