3D Munchy is a fast and enjoyable game based on Pac-Man but with a number of variations that succeed in giving new life to an old idea.

The game takes place in a simulated 3D maze, and you have to beat the clock as well as the ghosts. This is made particularly difficult because not only do the ghosts move quite quickly, but from time to time they dig holes in the maze which you cannot cross.

For this reason you are provided with three shovels with which to fill in the holes, but each shovel can only be used once.

Eating power pills turns the ghosts blue, with the usual results, but time is short and you are advised to stick to the task of clearing the maze rather than waste it chasing the opposition.

I have to admit to loss of interest in Pac-Man-type games, but I did enjoy 3D Munchy. Because of the limited number of shovels available and the large number of holes, you have to plan your route carefully if you're not going to end up trapped in a corner.
