The Munchman game runs on six volts DC and can be powered by four 'C' type batteries or alternatively via a low voltage mains adaptor.

[4] As the display is based on VFD technology, it allows bright, multicoloured in-game elements to be rendered but at the cost of a relatively small screen size.

The VFD display is manufactured with the pre-formed, immutable in-game objects effectively fixed in place onto a dark background.

Notable features of this version are that the maze is small, containing only eighteen dots plus two power pills.

There is a bonus cherry item sometimes available near the centre of the maze and horizontal warp tunnels can also be used by the player.
