As you compete with him, you'll discover that Merlin is very talkative. He speaks with a unique vocabulary of 20 electronic sounds. With these sounds he challenges you to a game, responds to your moves, and tells you when you've won, lost or tied. It won't take you long at all to become familiar with each of Merlin's sounds. Lights are part of the action, too! As you play you'll see that Merlin uses lights to keep track of your moves, to show you your score, and to remind you, when you've finished playing, that you haven't yet turned him off.
