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.
