FRIDAY 11 SEPTEMBER 1970 254th day - 111 days to come

The game CONFRONTATION Gini Scott promised me came.

Bob Hallowell of Gametime called. Wants to see EXCALIBUR. I'll call Monday morning and set a lunch date. I said I'd make a model but he suggested my not doing the work until after he looks at my sketches. { Bob Hallowell, Gametime Inc., 1133 Broadway (Rm. 7/4), 243-5353 I mentioned Brian Blake and his "Memory Flash Cards." Bob said to have him get in touch.

Called Phil Orbanes in evening to tell him about Bob's call. He said that since I did all the work I should get the royalties on EXCALIBUR. I said definitely that they should be shared. If I sell other things to Bob which they had no connection with then I'll consider taking the entire royalty. Phil is much happier now at "TLAG." Jerry Goldstien is running things and he is much fairer. Now that AQUARIUS 2000 is finished Phil is working on another self-analysis product. Most of his work is done at home. AQUARIUS 2000 will be advertised in half page ads in this and next Saturday's Times, followed by a full page in the following week. Phil's packaging for his "Home Entertainment Center" games (I told him that "Hasbro's" name was very simil- ar) was costed out at a $12 retail. This is the same as "Hasbro's" special design series games, which seem to be selling well. There will be a meeting within the next week or so to decide whether to go with this project. If yes, Phil will have me do the rules. We'll split my fee nad also the royalties he will get.

Rcd. a letter from Robert Fratkin (see 9/1). He and his wife will be in New York in a few weeks and he'll call me about getting together.

Wrote a letter to Kathy Brooks covering my comments on the EXECUTIVE DECISION rules.
