Oh man!!! those are perfect!! I had the owl calculator, merline and I think the Quiz Whiz..Seems the only colors they had for plastic was blood red and beige. Awesome...

only one missing is the Wildfire electronic pinball game ... "Speed it up!"

Wow! It's amazing with all the nostalgia that floats around, especially on the internet, that anyone could still dredge up fresh memories but you've totally done it, Barb. I haven't thought about that little Merlin calculator in decades.

I don't think I recall the Quiz Whiz looking so much like an ATM, but there it is. Weird.

i have the bowling game! i actually saw a remake of the game at a border's bookstore, as well as a sumo version.
