K.C. Munchkin

K.C. Munchkin is famous for being the first game taken off the market because of a lawsuit.

It's a pretty good Pac-Man clone. I have the European Videopac version, making it the oldest import game in my collection.



Anyone a fan of Munchkin?

It is better than the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man but nowhere near as good as the arcade Pac-Man.

Heh, what port/clone of it was?

I remember reading about K.C. Munchkin, for the Odyssee. I wanted to play that game bad. I had a pitiful Atari 2600, and had to settle for that flicker fest Atari called Pac-Man. The Atari 2600 version of Ms. Pac-Man was pretty decent.


Has anyone played Ladybug? My friend had it on his Colecovision, and it was one of my favorites, for that console.

I love Ladybug. I have the Coleco version. It's almost arcade-perfect.

And yeah, 2600 Ms. Pac-Man is pretty well made but they brought it out way too late.

The Atari 5200 port (and the 400/800 disc version of it from Data Soft) wasn't bad at all. It even has the intermissions in it.

I'm surprised KC Munchkin even came to the shelves. KCM is better than the 2600 Pac-Man to be sure (chasing that last dot is a real thrill), but it didn't surprise me to see it yoinked from the market that quick.
