In the late 70's, electronic games were becoming all the rage. Milton Bradley, as we know, introduced Simon. Mattel was experimenting with sports games. Parker Brothers, which, like Milton Bradley, was later absorbed by Hasbro, came up with Merlin, which, like the Mattel games, was a hand-held device. Like Simon, Merlin has been in and out of the marketplace in the 40 years since. Parker Brothers brought it back in 1995, and then, after Hasbro's mergers, the company shifted Merlin to the Milton Bradley brand.
This 1978 spot is narrated by Paul Frees.
