When Fidelity went out of business 8 years ago, the son of the owner essentially
opened Excalibur. The Mirage is based upon the same concept as the Phantom was.
And the Phantom was almost identical to the previous Milton Bradley but was
stronger and faster.

My favorite was the Novag Robot Adversary. When it worked (and many did not), it
was a masterpiece of ingenuity and REALLY fun to watch!
