MONDAY 7 JUNE
1971 158th day - 207 days to come
Call from Bob Hallowell. He wants to call Parker to ask for permission
to use ORBIT. Asked me who he should talk to. I suggested Randy
Barton. (Later I found out that he spoke to someone else who
was very accommodating. They will let Gametime use the name
without charge, but will keep rights for themselves. If anyone
else tries to use the name they, Parker, will fight it.)
I asked about MANHATTAN MADNESS. He said that Jean, his
secretary, loved the game.
Called Lee Horn. Told her about Felicia's reason for calling
last week. She, Lee, said (not exactly in so many works) that
she could get me on the Joe Franklin Show, but it would
be against 3M policy to do so. If we get Bill Caruson to write
O.K.ing it then she can do it.
Long day on OPEN BRIDGE.
(cont. from 6/8) [6/29]
Gametime is in trouble because of ENIGMA, difficulties with
PITFALLS (which hopefully are being corrected by making the
ball smaller and better quality control on the wand), slow sales
with QUINTESSENCE (which hopefully will be improved with a
more impressive package), and SWITCHED-ON ESP doing very badly.
TRI TAC TOE is very strong. NINE OF SWORDS should be prof-
itable. And they expect ORBIT to really take off. Altho he would
rather not ask them, Bob could get more money from his backers.
I mentioned that I had some other puzzles which Carl would
probably like better than those I showed him. Phil said
let him decide on those first.
Talked to Phil about stock in Infinity-Quest. Jack Keller
will be getting some in payment for his expenses in preparing
the program. I can buy a number of shares, as speci-
fied in my contract, at $10 a share.
Asked Phil if he had heard anything from Renwal. They still
owe him for AQUARIUS 2000 royalties.
When talking to Claude he told me that he had picked up a
deck of regular cards with scenes of Spain for me - $1.
(since I didn't really need them, he later gave them to someone as a gift.)
