This is a quick link for the Parker Brothers toy that I once had. I caught a peek of it on 1UP and the memories came flooding back. I had completely forgotten about Merlin what with PSP and Nintendo DS and all the handheld gaming of today!
Ah, the good old days...maybe they were good and old because if I busted out a Merlin today I'd be bored in a few minutes. But, boy was the ever cool when it first came out.
Check out the link if you want to see the very "Robotech" Japanese version!

Alucard, I haven't seen you around in AGES. How have you been??
Posted by Alucard... (Member # 4924) on :
I have been well! After my wife gave birth to a healthy child number three, things have been chaotic in every sense. But life goes on, just not by the river very much. Heck, I am lucky to check my email every 2 weeks at this point in my life. In many ways, I am unplugged from this world anymore :-)...
P.S. It may sound corny, but I still keep Hatrack at the top of my favorites list of my browser!

Aww... well, it's good to see you! And congratulations on number three! Posted by Alucard... (Member # 4924) on :

Omg, I had a Merlin. That's back from the days of Mattel handheld football. Wow...

Oh my gosh! I remember the ads for this thing. I didn't have a Merlin, though. I had a Simon. Four buttons, each with a different color and tone. Kept us busy for hours.

Callista is a beautiful name, congrats.

I'm echoing the "it's good to see you again, Alucard!" sentiment, and congrats on your newest. Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
I'll join the chorus--it's good to see you again! And congratulations!
My brother had a merlin. Man, I coveted that thing.

The new Simons are horrible. I miss our old one.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Wait. They still sell Simons? Kids today can still be interested in something with four buttons?
Huh.

Good to see you again, and congrats
Sad to say, those things were before my day. Oh well.

Well, one side has four buttons, and one side has 8, but yes.
