Product Description

Merlin's back! A re-release of the popular 80's electronic game, this handy update has all the fun of the original game, with a sleeker, more modern look. About the same size as a TV remote control, it makes for a great travel game. 6 different games challenge you on strategy, memory, and skill. Compete against Merlin in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe. Aren't you having War Games flashbacks already? Create a song by pressing buttons on the grid, and then have fun listening while Merlin plays it back to you. Who knew you were a Mozart in waiting? You can also listen and watch as Merlin plays a tune, then try to repeat it exactly. Can you be as fast and accurate as the mighty Merlin? Try playing a round of Blackjack 13, or crack the secret code and discover Merlin's mystery number. The entertainment never ends with the Original Electronic Wizard Game! 3 AAA demo batteries included. For 1 or 2 players, Ages 6 and Up.

I'm 35 & had this electronic game (and still do) when I was a kid. I loved this game & it kept me busy for hours. You can play music, tic-tac-toe, Blackjack against the computer or others, and many other games. It doesn't compare to a Game Boy Adv of course, but it's still a fun electronic game!! Simple even for the little ones!!

I got my Merlin when they first came out. I still have it, and it still works almost 30 years later. As a teacher, I believe it does have educational value. It helps children improve their logical thinking, eye hand coordination and memory skills. I am of the original video game generation (Pong, Atari, etc) and still enjoy my Game Cube and Wii. However nothing beats some of the original hand held games, and this is one of my favorites. I am getting them for my niece and nephews so they will leave mine alone. They enjoy my Merlin and yes, they are avid players of Nintendo DS.

This review is from: Merlin Electronic Puzzle Game (Toy)

My 7 year old daughter has as much fun with the Merlin Electronic Puzzle Game as I did when I was a kid. Everyone loves to play Tic Tac Toe against Merlin, even Pa-Paw enjoys playing Merlin. I love that it helps my daughter with simple addition when playing Blackjack against Merlin. It also teaches her some logic and deduction in the puzzle games. Also, she really has to pay attention and listen to play the game where you repeat the note patterns. I feel alot better paying this amount of money for an educational electronic game than paying a hundred or two or three hundred dollars for an electronic game that will likely be obsolete in 30 years. Merlin is so cool!
