Parker Brothers Merlin Prototype
Designed/Invented by: Bob Doyle and Holly Doyle
This is one of the original handmade prototypes for Merlin. Merlin was invented by Bob Doyle and his wife Holly. They designed and coded many games for the system, only 6 of which made it into the final, released version. (Also notice, there's a green Merlin in the box at the bottom of the picture.) I hope to have more details soon! The game was photographed by Scott Traylor during an interview with the Doyles about there days of inventing handheld games. Bob also invented Parker Bros Wildfire pinball, check out that page for pics...
