In discussing the matter of an advance she said we'd accept part upon signing, part on submission of the revised manufacture, and part upon publication. Harvey didn't realize there would be revisions. Felicia had no idea about what their timing would be.

<u>Felicia</u> was in contact with the manufacturer of <u>NINETY SEVEN</u>. She saw prototypes of two new games: <u>RICOCHET</u> (a gambling type casino game) and <u>HAVOC</u> (a game of luck and skill. They seem to have plenty of money for advertising (Dick Cavett among other places). But Felicia is reluctant to show them thing. They are very hard bargainers. In general companies are staying away from strategy games since they feel that they can't compete with 3M in this field. Also there is a feeling that they have passed their peak. But <u>Henry Levey</u> of Brentano's thinks there is still a demand. Whitman still hasn't put out <u>Natelie</u>'s  <u>FLINGERS</u>, though they paid for it. Felicia asked Bruce if they are really looking; she has two things specially put aside for them. He was silent a long time and then said that they are always looking. I brought up <u>COUNTERPOINT</u>. Felicia said it was a <u>Marvin Glass</u> item and it bombed.
