- Have you ever read Lord of the Rings and wondered why Gandalf didn't just 
   blast his way through the entire book? Well, here's your chance to put things 
   right...
   Merlin's Revenge is a wizarding blast 'em up. As Merlin, you romp your way
   through many screens full of monsters, searching for your borther Berlin, who 
   has been kidnapped by the evil Scarlet Wizard for unknown reasons. Merlin's 
   weapon is his energy blast, which can be charged to various amounts. The 
   game features realistic physics for extended fun blasting ememies around 
   the 
   screen. There are powerup potions to collect to improve the speed and size 
   of Merlin's weapon, and some big, bizarre baddies to fight.
