Tuesday 19 August 1969
231st day - 134 days to come
Felicia called. THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS came back.
M.B. was in yesterday, unfortunately. In any case she doesn't
think they would be interested. She suggested trying X since
she hears that Springbok is doing fabulously well with their
puzzles.
Longo returned BLOCK BUSTER. The test panel said that the
part about putting together letters from sections only dis-
tracted from the primary objective of forming words. Sid
Blazer wasn't too disappointed since he is already working on
some more ideas.
She had a call from someone at PLAYBOY. They had a game
called REVEAL, a dirty MONOPOLY, which they wanted her
to handle. She discouraged them.
Arthur called to get my address, to send me the rules to the new
POWER.
(cont. from 8/18)[8/28]
that was unfair to him. We agree on 75% for him
and 25% for me.
Dave Langhridge [Langridge? or Laughridge?] now seems to be in charge of development.
He told Jerry that Hank Simmons was ready to return
INSTANT INSANITY but he, Dave, told him to think about it
for a while.
Dave told Jerry that the way to sell a game was to
submit a model that looks like a finished product
(as Marvin Glass and the other big boys do). Jerry says
that from now on he will do this even if it means
spending considerably on the models.
Dave told Jerry it was difficult to know if a name
has been used before. Jerry suggested that he call me.
Dave said that he might. He definitely remembered me
(ed Parker, who I never met, didn't) and seemed
well disposed to me.
POWER - This, Jerry says, is a party game which has been
quite popular in California for some time (not the
Amberstones' game). Each player in turn can ask one
question of any player he chooses (one on a turn).
That player must answer completely honestly. (Several
of Jerry's friends have had divorces due to this game.)
PLAYTHINGS - Jerry will be written up in a 1000 word article in
the November issue. (Probably then.)
Richard Moon. I asked Jerry if his column was still running
in the San Mateo Times. Jerry said it was. He volunteered
to go talk to Moon for me and to send me repros of
his columns.
I asked Jerry to check with Frank Thybault what happened
when he contacted THE ARITHMETIC TEACTHER about BAZAAR.
