Hi, I just downloaded the MRopen file and can't seem to find the .exe file to play, is it in another download? Thanks!


steve replied,

Hi,

I edited your username to iverymuchloveyourgames - hope that's ok?

The link to MR2 exe is
https://themetalbox.com/downloads/merlins_revenge_2.exe

MR1 is
https://themetalbox.com/downloads/merlins_revenge_1.exe

I'll update the downloads page to link properly as soon as I can.

Best regards
Steve

Every time I try and launch MR2 it says it's protected and I can't play it through Director.

Hi Itarabo

The link to MR2 exe is
https://themetalbox.com/downloads/merlins_revenge_2.exe

MR1 is
https://themetalbox.com/downloads/merlins_revenge_1.exe

If it says it's protected it's more likely it's your computer worrying about executing files from the internet, which is fair enough.

If no luck, try googling for Blue Flash which contains a load of shockwave and flash games, including some of mine.

Good luck
Steve

hello, I hope you are well. I am here to say that I have looked everywhere for the swf file of your merlin games. they were a staple of my childhood and would very much like to experience your games again. if you still have the files, could you send them to my email or make them available to download? I hope you are well. thank you again for the memories.


steve replied,

Hi Rooks-Donorin

I am well thanks, I hope you are too!

I have made some exes of MR1 and MR2, but they are not great

The link to MR2 exe is

MR1 is

You could also try googling for Blue Flash too as an alternative

All of your games are great. I used to play them a long time ago, and decided to try them again. I can play Merlin 1, Merlin 3, and Repunzles Escape with no problems, but when I try to play Merlin 2 and Merlin 2 scoring, my browser crashes when it gets to the start screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this?


steve replied,

Thanks!

It's odd that you can play the others but not MR2. Unfortunately, it works for me which means it's pretty much impossible for me to troubleshoot it.

My advice would be to try a different browser and see if that makes any difference (the plug-in is different for Firefox than for IE). If that doesn't help, try a different computer if that's possible.

Sorry that's not very good but it's the best I can do.

When i have the golden gun in the game i cant turn it off


steve replied,

If you're using the default keys (asdw to move), press 'e' to switch the golden machine gun on and off.

Please write back if you're still having problems.

When I played Merlin's Revenge 2. I tried to call for help by pressing the numpad 0 but it did not work even the num lock was on.



steve replied,

Unfortunately, I can't test this at the moment as numlock does not seem to be working on my keyboard right now. Perhaps someone else will read this and be able to throw some light on the matter.

I assume you have made sure that:
- you have the right key layout selected ('arrow' not 'asdw')
- you have some calls for help left (you only get 5 in MR2 I think)

Sorry I can't be more help right now.

this is not my email its my moms anyway ugh when i was playing merlins revenge2 and merlins revenge 2 scoring the morph scroll thing was on the first level is that supposed to be like that?and anyway everytime i got it,it wouldn't let me change back to the normal yellow scroll


steve replied,

There are two ways to change back - you can press '1' or you can press 'q' and click on the icon for the first spell.

Yup, the morph spell is on the first screen. That's because if you play it on hard you need to morph into a goblin to be able to run fast enough to get away from the enemies.

Have fun!

After I clicked ok on that this popup message comes up
"This shockwave movie has errors that have caused playback problems. please contact the author of this content regarding this problem.
Shockwave is unable to continue.".

Does you guys know what this means and if so how do I fix it?

Thanks.

Steve replied,

Yes it's the copy protection. Make sure you're playing at http://www.themetalbox.com and if it still doesn't work try using Firefox rather than Internet Explorer. If all that doesn't work please write back again.

Hey, im contacting you again to let you guys know that when I submitted the contact about MR1/2 not working, I forgot to mention it works on other sites, all except here. This might be a key to fixing this problem, so I alerted you again.

Steve/Lokey-
It's me again.
I have been having problems with Mr. 1 and Mr. 2.
Every time I try to play them the little loading bar loads and then right before the main menu comes up a little box pops up that says
"incorrect configuration
undef’d statement error
guru meditation #00ccef

contact:

then the menu comes up
but none of the menu options are clickable.
You just posted an update about how it might be Vista and/or IE7 but the thing is I have IE6 and Xp not Vista and not IE7.
Do you know what else it might be?
Thanks for listening.
