Instead, I got a Merlin
We had that too. I remember liking it, but not for the Tic Tac Toe game. What were the other games it could play?
This must be what going mad feels like.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I still have my Merlin, and a few years ago I showed it to my nephew, as an example if the Electronic games I had growing up. He could not have thought it lamer.

I am starving. And I have totally failed at bringing my lunch this week, but that's mostly due to me barely having time to make dinner let alone cook extra food to bring to the office.
I'm not going to a concert for two whole days! Thank god. I need some naps.

We also had some sort of "guess the word" game. I don't remember what it was called or who made it, so I haven't found it at that site yet. It had a membrane keyboard with all the letters, and an oval-shaped display. Any ideas?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
mac currently has a leapster and v-smile both of which are educational, but I think we may only have another 9-12 mos for them. There are games, specifically math ones for leapster that could stretch the use for a few more years, but that is only if he stay interested and will actually use it.

it taught me that Tic Tac Toe gets really boring about 3 seconds after you figure out how to force a tie every time, ages before War Games came out.

My nephew thought I was BS-ing him when I told him Merlin was "state of the art" when I was 10-11. It was pretty funny

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Can I get some love for the Speak & Spell?

We didn't have that. I think I developed an irrational dislike of that game after E.T. used it to phone home....
