Merlin The Electronic Wizard of 1978

This gem dates back to my childhood when a series of flashing lights could be concidered a "game" worthy of one's time and money.

Merlin (aka: The Electronic Wizard) was a handheld electronic game made by Parker Brothers in 1978. Merlin is notable as one of the earliest and most popular handheld games, selling over 5 million units during its initial run. It even remained popular throughout the 80s. A version of the game was re-released by the Milton Bradley Company.
