Rcd. a copy of <u>ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR II</u> from <u>Tom Shaw</u> of A.H. [Avalon Hill] <br> | |||
Also some <u>TAROT</u> cards and a note from Thom asking if I knew <br> | |||
which game they came from. <br> | |||
---- | |||
In a toystore in the outskirts of Amsterdam saw <u>MONEY MAKER</u>. <br> | |||
A tag said it was "Als Monopolie." Didn't look at the details but <br> | |||
it seemed to have the characteristics. Is based on cars and traveling - <br> | |||
with motels, gas stations, etc. <br> | |||
---- | |||
(cont. from 10/13) <br> | |||
believes that it is more my type of game than a full <br> | |||
simulation. I'll pick it up and review it in my column. <br> | |||
After talking to Jim I called <u>Fred Schachter</u> and gave <br> | |||
him <u>Pierre Berloquin</u>'s address. <br> | |||
Third call from <u>Felicia</u>. <u>Zea Gelman</u> was in to see her. Zena <br> | |||
spoke to her about <u>MEM</u> - <u>Anatole Holt</u> is trying to get <br> | |||
someone to take over his stock, etc. <u>HAGGLE </u>- Felicia thinks <br> | |||
she might be able to do something with this. Zena gave <br> | |||
her a lot of sets. Told her I already have one. Zena <br> | |||
told Felicia that Anatole has 7 more <u>GAME</u>s but <br> | |||
Felicia didn't get the info on them. <br> | |||
<u>Jake Williams</u> was in with his Football <u>GAME</u>. Felicia <br> | |||
didn't flip over it. It uses film in razor cartridges (?) <br> | |||
to create plays and Felicia thinks it would have to <br> | |||
sell for $50 or more. I mentioned <u>FOTOELECTRIC FOOTBALL</u> <br> | |||
and Felicia said there was a similarity. <br> | |||
Jake developed the game while he was working for a company. <br> | |||
When they were taken over, and Jake lost his job, they <br> | |||
gave the rights to him. | |||
Jake looked at the packaging of <u>IMAGE</u> (package design is | |||
his primary field) and he said that, because of its white <br> | |||
background, it would get lost on the shelf. Felicia asked <br> | |||
