Monday 26 February 1968
57th day - 309 days to come
Called Abercrombie & Fitch with the idea of going there at lunch time to
look at MINITAR. The clerk said they definitely didn't have it and
couldn't understand why the ad was placed.
Took out the ad for ORGY from the March Playboy and filed it in
the 1968 Ad Clips folder.
Wrote a short letter to Dr. Atwater and sent him a signed
contract (Disclosure Form).
(cont. from 2/25) [3/13]
more areas wins the game. (See below for Rockwell's address.)
Met James Dunnigan again & he introduced me to Phil Orbanes
of Gamescience Corp. He is still in college but he is doing
well enough for Renwal (which has been taken over by
Allstate) to be interested in backing him. He will go
along if he can keep his autonomy.
He puts out VIET NAM (in a new box), CONFRONTATION
(a new edition in a flat box, with plastic board, and
improved rules), NUCLEAR WAR (which he took over from
Doug Malawicki) and THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN invented by
Louis Zocchi who was also there. (See 1968 Ad Clips).
Phil and Lou are both ACQUIRE fans. Phil wants to expand
into non-war games and would like me to work on them
for him. Told him about AIRLINES and he is interested in
seeing it. Will visit me sometime in May.
I told Phil and Lou about FOCUS and they want me to send
the booklet.
Phil told me about a game DOUBLE THINK they want to develop
but haven't been able to. Roughly it will be a deck of
cards with different parts for constructing a secret
weapon, and ways of spying to get information from
other players. To win it should be necessary to figure the
way the opponent will think you will think. I said I'd work
on it. Phil suggested my taking part of my royalties in
stock so as to become part of the company. I said I thought
it a good idea.
They both collect games. Lou had a copy of PORT-OF-CALL
with him. Phil says he has a game INVEST and I asked
him to send me a reproduction of the rules.
