<u>Henry Levy</u> mentioned that | <u>Henry Levy</u> mentioned that Parker has supplied old games for <br> | ||
the window and one of them was an earlu <u>WALL STREET</u>. <br> | |||
I looked at it in the window and then in the evening checked <br> | |||
in the Parker archives material. It was a Parker game [copyright] 1901. <br> | |||
<u>Bob Gellman</u> of Research Games came over to see me. He <br> | |||
said that he heard that I was the greatest. He asked <br> | |||
if I was exclusive with 3M. When I told him that I wasn't <br> | |||
he said he'd like to get together. Gave him my card and <br> | |||
he is at 200 5th Ave., room 962. But he isn't always there. <br> | |||
He said he likes games that are tied to something definite, <br> | |||
such as travel. Thought that <u>GO SEE</u> might be good, tho <br> | |||
I didn't mention it to him. <br> | |||
At end of session he said he sold 14 copies of <br> | |||
<u>MOVIE MOGULS</u>. <br> | |||
I didn't sell anything. In fact the only ones who spoke <br> | |||
to me were <u>Bob Gellman</u> and <u>David Rice</u>, a fan of my games. <br> | |||
He wrote to me with a solution to the <u>SLEUTH</u> problem and <br> | |||
also mentioned <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>. I thought that he <s>had</s> was <br> | |||
the one who said that <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> was like <br> | |||
<u>MANAGEMENT II</u>. He wasn't; actually he said that he liked <br> | |||
my game much better. <br> | |||
He is a great fan of <u>AGOG</u> and prepared a package with cards, <br> | |||
two sets of dominos, graph paper, etc which he keeps together <br> | |||
with a copy of the book. He particularly likes <u>DOMINO BEAD GAME</u>, <br> | |||
<u>PROPERTY</u>, <u>LOA</u>, and <u>HAGGLE</u>, which he has played a few times. <br> | |||
He hasn't gotten to <u>FOCUS</u> yet. A friend of his is nuts about <u>POKE</u>. <br> | |||
He has all my 3M games. Told him about my suggestions <br> | |||
for a more skillful version of <u>BAZAAR</u>. He thought it might <br> | |||
be a good idea to playuntil 4 cards have been taken and <br> | |||
then start another round by turning another 4 cards. <br> | |||
<u>David</u> said that in general my games are the only ones <br> | |||
[illegible crossed out] which don't need doctoring of the rules before he can play <br> | |||
them. <br> | |||
Gave him my card & told him to call me to arrange for him to <br> | |||
visit me. This was after he mentioned a lot of old games, <br> | |||
all of which I have in my collection. <br> | |||
In a conversation with <u>Henry Levy</u> he mentioned that he'd <br> | |||
like to see a copy of''<u>S & T</u>'', with an idea of subscribing. <br> | |||
Told him I'd bring him one. | |||
To Harvey & Carlson. <u>Mickey Mackay</u> in a conference. <br> | |||
Her secretary gave me copies of <u>SUMMIT</u>, <u>PSYCH-OUT</u>, <br> | |||
<u>WORD WISE</u>, and <u>GROUP</u>. (They all list for $8.) <br> | |||
