Having Fun With Escape From Merlin 8

Having Fun With Escape From Merlin 8

Introduction

This article like many others I will be doing, is a recreation, tidy up, etc of articles originally

published in old User Group Magazines. As the quality of these old magazines is quite

poor, I decided to take it upon myself to recreate those articles and present them in an

improved format, with pictorial enhancements and where possible improved content.

This time I thought I would have some fun with Escape From Merlin 8. This article was

originally Published in Einstein Monthly News as part of their Harry the Hacker series of

articles.
