<u>Bob Hallowell</u> called. | <u>Bob Hallowell</u> called. Everyone at <u>Reiss</u> seems enthusiastic <br> | ||
about the pencil and paper games. He asked when he could have <br> | |||
the rules for <u>DRILL FOR OIL</u> and I told him I'd send them <br> | |||
today. He'll be putting them out in groups of 6, hopefully <br> | |||
reaching 24. The first 6 will probably be <u>DRILL FOR OIL</u>, <u>TOURNEY</u>, <u>XANDO</u>, <u>HEXOWORD</u>, <u>CONNECTIONS</u>, and <u>AIR BATTLE</u>. <br> | |||
<u>Fred Feucht</u> tried out the games with his family <br> | |||
and liked these. <u>COLD WAR</u> he didn't care for as much. <br> | |||
Bob asked me if other inventors submitted p. & p. games to <br> | |||
him and he took one or more for royalties, would I mind. <br> | |||
Of course not. <br> | |||
Bob wants actual photographs on the boxes, since <br> | |||
they are much more striking than a drawing. In the <br> | |||
case of an abstract game like <u>HEXAWORD</u>, he is thinking <br> | |||
of construction a 3-D model of the game and taking a <br> | |||
picture of it. <br> | |||
He is moving away from plastic items. His new ones this <br> | |||
year will be the p. & p. games, <u>Phil Orbanes</u>' "Biorythems" <br> | |||
program, and an action game - <u>HEAD TENNIS</u>. A net is formed <br> | |||
by hanging yarn from two posts and a balloon is hit over <br> | |||
it by two opponents, using only their heads. <br> | |||
I asked if he is still doing <u>ORBIT</u>. Yes. Told him of the <br> | |||
Xerox exhibit and he'll send 6 copies to Rochester. <br> | |||
I asked if he had any more copies of <u>NINE OF SWORDS</u>. He'll <br> | |||
send me 6. | |||
<u>Fred Feucht</u> called. He was at M.B. last Friday. He met<br> | |||
{<u>Marshall Lucas</u> <br> | |||
{[personal phone number] <br> | |||
who is in charge of the adult game line, separate from <br> | |||
<u>Dick Harris</u> or <u>Mel Taft</u> (after I said I knew them). Fred told <br> | |||
Marshall about me and he'd like to talk to me. Fred suggested <br> | |||
