Play Merlin’s Apprentice Online

Merlin's Apprentice came out in 1995 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games series, published by Philips Interactive Media. It was a time when puzzle adventures were gaining traction on home computers, and this one fit right in with its colorful, approachable style. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, and that casual tone made it stand out among more serious fantasy titles of the era.

You play as a young apprentice tasked with reassembling Merlin's broken wand by exploring a magical tower room by room. Each screen presents a new puzzle, often involving moving objects, matching symbols, or avoiding pesky imps that reset your progress. The pace is methodical; you won't rush through it. Some puzzles rely on logic, while others test your timing and memory. It feels like a relaxed but engaging challenge, something you can pick up and enjoy without too much pressure.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
