I was at a Kay-Bee Toys the other day and saw a new Merlin on the rack. It was smaller than the original, and I was wondering if anyone has bought one, and if son, is it as good as the original?

Still have all the same games?
I played more than my share of Music Machine, Black Jack, & that number-guessing game.
Good times.

I was playing with one at Target the other day. The games all seem to be the same. But it talks, and it plays small samples of music. I think it also does some fancy stuff with the lights.
I don't know. I 'd probably buy one for my kids, but for me rather have an original. The enhancements seem to detract from the charm of the original device.
Back in the day I was a whiz at Magic Square.
In short: it's crap. Spend $5 on the original model on feeeBay.Originally Posted by Jimmy Yakapucci
Selling collection, Atari through XBox. Send a PM with whatever games you're looking for.
I have a couple of originals I bought at Garage Sales so I'll pass.
I don't think so. Original Merlin:Originally Posted by DKTheArcadeRat
Actually a very fun handheld game despite its apparent simplicity.
I have that one too. It came out in the mid 90s. The one with the voice, right? Far superior to the original IMO.Originally Posted by DKTheArcadeRat
Man, I LOVED my Merlin back in the day. I got it for Christmas one year and played with it for months. Then I lost it. I'd pick one of these new one up if I saw one.
