(??). I mentioned | (??). I mentioned <u>ECCENTRIC</u> and Patchett said that it <br> | ||
might be by <u>Gini Scott</u>. She was working on a Howard Hughes game. <br> | |||
Patchett, incidentally, recently joined <br> | |||
<u>THE AMERICAN GAMES ASSOCIATION</u>. <br> | |||
I took his address: <br> | |||
{<u>Tom Patchett</u> <br> | |||
{[street address] <br> | |||
{Berkeley, Cal. 94709 <br> | |||
If I don't receive the game Frank sent, I'll write <br> | |||
and Tom will send me another. <br> | |||
Incidentally, <u>WIPE OUT</u> is based on nuclear war. <br> | |||
I told him that his name and game sounded familiar. <br> | |||
Later found that I had a clipping on <u>DEALER MCPOPE DEALING GAME</u>. <br> | |||
(See 2/3.) | |||
Started writing up <u>4000 A.D.</u> for ''<u>S & T</u>''. Saw I couldn't <br> | |||
finish it today and have it typed. Called <u>Mark Katz</u> and <br> | |||
changed date from tomorrow to Wednesday. <br> | |||
While writing up <u>4000 A.D.</u>. I thought of a p & p version of <br> | |||
getting 4 in a row on a 4 x 4 x 4 field. The levels can <br> | |||
be represented by circles of different sizes place[d] in <br> | |||
a row - see illustration. | |||
