To <u>Felicia</u>'s to talk with her accountant, <u>Leonard Willett</u>. <br> | To <u>Felicia</u>'s to talk with her accountant, <u>Leonard Willett</u>. <br> | ||
He thinks I can use "Capital Gains" for my 3M money. <br> | |||
I meant to bring a copy of the new edition of <u>''AGOG''</u> to <br> | |||
Felicia, which she requested yesterday, but I forgot. <br> | |||
<u>Felicia</u> showed me a letter from <u>Larry Stockard</u> at Hallmark. <br> | |||
He said that he would be dealing with her since Bob Edwards <br> | |||
was leaving for another job. He started the letter with <br> | |||
"Yes, we think <u>PLANES</u> is a good game too. The option contract <br> | |||
will be on the way shortly." (Approximate wording.) He <br> | |||
also said that they would be interested in <u>FRENETICS</u>, but not <br> | |||
if it is a package deal with other games. <br> | |||
<u>Lillian Voegelin</u> was there working on a project with <u>Felicia</u> <br> | |||
so I left soon after talking to Willett. | |||
To 200 5th. Picked up the 2/21/72 issue of ''<u>TOY & HOBBY WORLD</u>. <br> | |||
Had an ad for <u>COACHES ALL-STAR FOOTBALL</u> (Great Games Inc.); <br> | |||
(Lawrence Toys, Inc.) <u>CROSSTIXX</u>, <u>EGG TIMER</u>, <u>SCATTER BRAIN</u>, <br> | |||
<u>NOT QUITE</u>, <u>HEXASPIRATION</u>, <u>MAGNE - TANGLE</u>, <u>PANDORA'S BOX</u>, <br> | |||
<u>ANGLE-TANGLE</u>, <u>TRY ANGLES</u>. | |||
To Research Games. <u>Bob Gellman</u> there. Had a box for <u>HOLIDAY</u> <br> | |||
and it looked good - not too juvenile and not too egghead. <br> | |||
Bob said that F.A.O. Schwartz had already put in an order. <br> | |||
On the wall there was a mockup of a game called <br> | |||
<u>HOLLYWOOD</u>. I asked Bob about it and he said he hoped they <br> | |||
wouldn't have to use it, but if <u>Ken Morgan</u> wouldn't <s>budge o</s> <br> | |||
budge on the 18% royalty they would have to. I said that I <br> | |||
hoped that the game would not be the same. He said it <br> | |||
wouldn't be. | |||
To the office of <br> | |||
{<u>Fred Feucht</u> Design Group <br> | |||
{300 Madison Ave. <br> | |||
{12th Floor <br> | |||
{(682-0040) <br> | |||
<u>Bob Hallowell</u> was busy with problems on the stock issuing <br> | |||
and couldn't make it. Fred and I played all or part of <br> | |||
<u>DRILL FOR OIL</u>, <u>COLD WAR</u>, <u>XANDO</u>, <u>HEXOWORD</u>, and <u>TOURNEY</u>. <br> | |||
He caught on and played very well. Went over the rules <br> | |||
of <u>AIR BATTLE</u> and <u>CONNECTIONS</u>. Told him that further <br> | |||
work was required on <u>SUBSIDUARIES</u> Also that unless they <br> | |||
had a strong liking for <u>CONNECTIONS</u> I'd just as soon leave <br> | |||
it out because of <u>AIRLINE</u>. <br> | |||
Fred said that he'd like to start with <u>DRILL FOR OIL</u>, <br> | |||
probably with the name <u>WILDCAT</u>. (Told him that the <br> | |||
name had been used many years ago.) He'd like the rules <br> | |||
for it <s>some time</s> at the end of next week. <br> | |||
Fred is working on packaging for M.B.'s adult game line. He <br> | |||
told me this when I noticed a copy of <u>BAZAAR</u>. He said <br> | |||
that the book case packaging is by far the most popular <br> | |||
for adult games. <br> | |||
