Chad Valley - Got copy of their 1970 catalog. Contains the following:-
<u>MOON RACE</u>, <u>ZODIAC</u>, <u>ESCALADO</u>, <u>COMPUTOR TIC TAC TOE</u> (which looks the
same as <u>THINK-A-DOT</u>).
Simplay - They had a game <u>OLYMPICS</u> in which the various events are
competed in simultaneously by throw of dice (I believe), probably special
dice. In their<s>e</s> ad sheet they list a game - <u>RUN AMOK CAR RALLY</u>,
which I didn't see.<br>
