This channel, for the most part, is about loving human creations the same way men love women romantically/sexually. For me, the Merlin was arguably my first such love in growing up. This channel originally spun off to address purely the love of words and names in this manner, but the arrival of certain types of subscribers have opened this up to all manmade creations once again.
Anyway, the reason this video has no sound is cause this channel was originally a word, name and font channel, and so the only thing that had relevance here was her labeling. Now the channel allows machine and electronics content too, so modern videos of her here have sound (unlike like the first 2 original videos of her back during the beginning of channel's founding)
here's a question... we know Bob Doyle designed the game... but who designed her appearance? And namely who put my wife (font) and her relative fonts ALL OVER HER? ... And though all Merlins are not red (The Dr. Smith for instance is silver), they even got _that right_!
@damondrydes Yeah is hysterical. This is this channel's most popular video yet 1) I was VERY ROMANTICALLY in love with this toy as a kid, 2) fell in love with the font long afterwards, 3) I made this video WITHOUT SOUND only to show the font, and 4) we're getting clicks, but ALL MERLIN FANS... and 5) THIS IS WHERE THIS ALL STARTED FOR ME ANYWAY(?)
Actually I am quite fond of the toy herself... There has been much romance between me and these over the years... The thing that's great about them is her "her vs. you"-style of games". Tic-tac-toe may be easy to beat her at, but that blackjack game is hard. In fact, these are often cited as being my first love, though how accurate that is I suppose depends on what you count.
I also have a Master Merlin somewhere, but just wasn't quite the same...
And Parker Bros. or someone made a completely different game with the same shape... the original idea was just very hard to beat...
I've even tried to dream up my own alternate versions..

Bob Doyle please contact me. I am major fan of your work.
I also have Wildfire Pinball.
I've been to your skybuilders site. You were "cloud" before cloud was cool just like you were Merlin before Merlin was cool.
Please. Lots of important people have broken my heart. This would mean the world to me.
