Mini-Munchman

Capitalising on the then-contemporary success of Namco's Pac-Man, the game was released in the same year as Grandstand's larger Munchman game and in the same yellow colour scheme (Conversely, Epoch Man is white). Mini-Munchman, however, is a pocket-sized device that includes additional features, such as a real time clock, alarm and stopwatch. The game later spawned a larger LCD version with greater screen area called Pocket Pac-Man.[4]

The game employs a low consumption LCD-based screen, allowing for a small form factor design incorporating alkaline button power cells. The game requires two LR-44 or equivalent cells. In-game objects are displayed on fixed, immovable LCD elements. The main score display, which doubles up as a date/time and stopwatch display, consists of a three-and-a-half-digit display and an extra small digit for tenths of a second, or lives remaining.

The object of the game is to move the character around a maze, eating all the fruit, and avoiding contact with ghosts. There are two humpback bridges which contain a fruit item both over and underneath the bridge. Successive levels are faster, to increase difficulty. Each level has a fixed route which can guarantee completion of each level without losing a life. Due to the limits of the fixed numeric display, the highest score that can be shown is 1,999. Once this has been exceeded, the score will display as HHH.
