Merlin (also known as Merlin The Electronic Wizard, stylized as MERLIN) is a handheld electronic game first made by Parker Brothers in 1978. The game was invented by former NASA employee Bob Doyle, his wife Holly, and brother-in-law Wendl Thomis. Merlin is notable as one of the earliest and most popular handheld games, selling over 5 million units during its initial run, as well as one of the most long-lived, remaining popular throughout the 1980s. A version of the game was re-released in 2004 by the Milton Bradley Company. #retrogaming #handheld #thrift #genxgrownup - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS Keys of Fury » https://keysoffury.com G'AIM'E Time Crisis » http://genxgrownup.com/gaime King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 My First Merlin 01:59 The Box 03:13 Manual 03:57 Hardware Tour 07:35 Power On 07:54 Tic Tac Toe 09:05 Music Machine 10:36 Echo 11:29 Blackjack 13 15:35 Magic Square 17:05 Mindbender 19:30 Summary

Jon scored a 1983 Arcade Mania at the Thrift Shop - DOES IT WORK? ? MORE Thrift Finds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kndd5tYyNEk&list=PL13zHeyDr6xvKE5HBOAcEgdIs1cqUt6t4&ab_channel=GenXGrownUp Arcade Mania is a skill and strategy game that features a mini arcade machine that's simple to operate, a challenge to play, and totally portable, so you can play a real honest-to-goodness arcade game away from an arcade! To challenge THE MACHINE, you must react with lightning-fast fingers. Either to battle alien raiders, to track down a slithering serpent, to blast away at threatening missiles, or to run away from a very hungry monster. It takes skill to score points on THE MACHINE but it takes strategy to win the game. For Arcade Mania challenges you to collect chips during a match... and chips are accumulated either by winning on THE MACHINE yourself or by betting successfully on other players tackling THE MACHINE. You'll discover that WHO to bet on and HOW MUCH to bet takes clever planning and plotting. #boardgames #retrogaming #thrift #genxgrownup ? S H O P (affiliate) http://genxgrownup.com/amazon ?
