Mac and Friends: Eat Your Words

Mac and Friends: Eat Your Words is a 1994 educational PC game. A deluxe edition was released two years later in 1996.

Synopsis
When Mac's dog is forced to go on a diet, players guess some words that Mac's dog had in mind.

Gameplay
The game starts out by having Mac request the player's name.

In the game, the player is given a hint for the word they are to guess. The player then gets letters every once in a while that fill in the blanks. During that time, the player must type out their guess. If they are correct, Mac's dog will eat from the bowl next to him in disgust. If they are wrong, he will devour the cat food in front of him in delight.

After each round, Mac's dog, accompanied by Nuthead and Bumpy, will be weighed on a scale. His weight will increase or decrease, depending on the results of the round. Each time, Mac's dog will think of a quote from the show (sometimes paraphrased).

Controls
At the beginning of a game, the name of a player is written with the letter keys, while the return key used to confirm it.

Pressing the spacebar after the hint will allow the player to type in the answer with the letter keys.
