SCREENSHOTS

I finally found a "10th Quest" in mint condition!! Click on the picture to the left to see the front cover art of a Merlin's 10th Quest still in its original box. This unit was released in the early 90's and is the latest (last?) in the Merlin handheld game series. After mastering it's 9 new games, a mystery 10th game is unlocked.

With VMerlin 2.00 you can alter Merlin's look from the standard Red on Red.

The restoration is complete!! This is a before and after image of the original Merlin box cover art.

The find of a lifetime!! (At least for me anyway) A Merlin from 1978, still in the original shrink wrapped box!! Cleaned up scans of this box will be used in the interface of the next release of VMerlin.

Yes I found one of these too. A Master Merlin from 1981, still in the box, complete with instructions!! (Perhaps a future project. :) ) I did not even know this model even existed!! It plays 9 games rather than only 6. Ironically, only one of the 9 games is similar to the original 6 Merlin games. It is amazing how many games can be played with only 11 little red lights. :)

The Virtual Merlin was created in a 3D program first - as a wireframe model. The original Merlin was too scratched and worn to produce a good quality image.

Here is a shot of the Virtual Merlin actually running in a Windows window.
