House of Games - Waddington : - Met <u>Alfons Rubbens</u> who was | |||
a little bit apologetic about the problem over getting back | |||
<u>FREE FORM</u> last year. <u>Earl <s>Dough</s> Doherty</u> of <u>GAMEWAYS</u> | |||
(see 1971) is now his partner and they develop their own games. <br> | |||
<u>4000 A.D.</u> - gave me a copy for review in ''<u>S & T</u>''. <br> | |||
<u>CHESSWORD</u> - Copied info. [information] but Rubbens is supposed to send me | |||
one for review. <br> | |||
<u>SPECULATE</u> - (This was developed at Waddington and was invented | |||
by someone from South Africa). Copied some of the info. but | |||
Rubbens is supposed to send a review copy. <br> | |||
Rubbens was interested in the possibility of Simulations, Inc. | |||
selling <u>4000 A.D.</u> mail order and i gave him <u>Jim Dunnigan</u>'s | |||
number. Also told him about ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>'' and he took <u>Tincher</u>'s | |||
number. Also gave him a copy of ''<u>S & T</u>'', #30 I think, and | |||
the ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>'' with my column. <br> | |||
Told him about Xerox and he'd like to be in it. He'll call me | |||
before April 20th about coming to see it. In addition to the | |||
review copies, he will send me <u>4000 A.D.</u> and <u>CHESSWORD</u>. I didn't | |||
think that <u>SPECULATE</u> would be visual enough. <br> | |||
Picked up a folder for <u>SPIN & SPELL</u> - children's but nice equip't. [equipment] (Filed in '72 Misc. [1972 miscellaneous]) | |||
When I got home Felicia called. <u>Anthony Longo</u> of S. & R. [Selchow and Righter] sicced | |||
a nut on her. He has a <u>GAME</u> for which he wants $250,000. | |||
Longo tried to get Felicia to tell him who in 3M is in charge. | |||
Just in case he might call me, she doesn't want me to mention | |||
any names. <br> | |||
