SATURDAY 23 MAY
Ember Day 1970 143rd day - 222 days to come
Working on PROFIT equipment all day.
Rcd. Vol. 6, No. 21 of THE GAMESLETTER.
Gave a copy of AGOG to Mike Baschkopf for his 50th
birthday.
(cont. on 5/24) [8/20]
a backer has put out for her, as soon as it is in produc-
tion. "Brentanos" will carry it.
She will also send me NITTY-GRITTY (Skor-Mor) when this
too, is in production. This is a puzzle consisting of 24
squares which are placed on a 5 x 5 quadrille (with center
square not used) so that the adjoining edges all match
in color. Three colors (I believe) are used with diff-
erent arrangements of one, two, or three colors
[three squares with various patterns sketched on them], etc.
I gave her copies of TAM-BIT and TAKE FIVE. She bought
copies of TEMPO, ODD OR EVEN, and INTERPLAY at the
"Gift Show."
Her backer may do a whole series of games like
CONFRONTATION. Bob Reiss will distribute CONFRONTATION.
Showed her IMPOSSIBLE and she thought it was attractive.
She noticed the old model of THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS and
I told her about it, also pointing out that it was my
original idea. She said that she had a game, or rather
a puzzle, which used a circuit. She showed me her
CRAZY MAZE. There is a 4 x 4 quadrille (I belieive
that's the size) and 16 square pcs. as
shown. These are placed so that a contin-
uous path is formed following the arrows and the number
on each one.
I told her this was quite different from mine, the
revolving dials being my distinctive feature.
Both "Lakeside" & "Gametime" (Bob Hallowell) are interested
in CRAZY MAZE and she asked who I would advise giving
it to. Told her the first would have better volume, but the
latter would do a more attractive job.
She knows Frank Armbruster, in fact he helped her get started
in games. I asked her to tell him about ACQUIRE and "Hall-
mark" and that I would get it to him.
She knows of Jerry D'Arcey but hasn't met him.
"Pressman" is a member of "IDEAS." Also Al Stack of "Skor-Mor"
and some other west coast manufacturers.
She will put me back on the "IDEAS" mailing list.
She asked if I would act as her agent on the east
