http://www.handheldmuseum.com/ParkerBros/Merlin.htm

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!

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!

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.

I'm echoing the "it's good to see you again, Alucard!" sentiment, and congrats on your newest. [Smile]

Wait. They still sell Simons? Kids today can still be interested in something with four buttons?

Huh.

Sad to say, those things were before my day. Oh well.

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