Mermaid Computer Games
Mermaids have been part of folklore since the days of ancient Greece, when they were seen as harbingers of doom. It wasn't until Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid," and its later adaptation into a movie by Disney, that mermaids were seen as softer, friendlier creatures. Young girls especially like mermaids and may enjoy playing mermaid games available for home computers.
