Rcd. a letter | Rcd. a letter from <u>Roger Verhulst</u> who is doing a column <br> | ||
called ''<u>THE GAME ROOM</u>'' for the <u>CHICAGO TRIBUNE</u>. He <br> | |||
heard about me from <u>Tom Shaw</u>. He sent me clippings <br> | |||
of repros of 5 of the columns (which apparently started <br> | |||
on 3/24/72) on the following "games": <u>THE GODFATHER GAME</u>, <br> | |||
<u>DIPLOMACY</u>, <u>AQUARIUS 2000</u>, <u>EMPEROR OF CHINA</u>, and <u>FACADE</u>. | |||
Rcd. ''<u>THE GAMESLETTER</u>'' (Vol. 8, #37). Mentions <u>COZINE 2</u> which <br> | |||
has rules for a game <u>RAUMKRIEG</u>. ''<u>SMITHSONIAN</u>'' Magazine <br> | |||
(1/72) has an article which includes descriptions of <br> | |||
<u>CITY MODEL</u>, <u>DANGEROUS PARALLEL</u>, and <u>THE POPULATION GAME</u>. <br> | |||
Other magazine reviews contained a number of mentions <br> | |||
of privately produced games. Flyer for <u>INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW</u> <br> | |||
made it seem very wargame oriented. | |||
To Simulations. Spoke to <u>Al Nofi</u>. he gave me a game that someone <br> | |||
had bought at an auction of old games, for $1, and donated <br> | |||
it to Simulations. They had no use for it and gave it to me. <br> | |||
The game - <u>THE ADVENTURES OF DAVY CROCKETT</u>. The auction <br> | |||
was held at the "International Comic art Convention" which is held <br> | |||
annually about the first week of July. There are usually <br> | |||
games around. <br> | |||
Spoke to <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. Nothing new from <u>Bill Knox</u> (<u>GROOVE</u>, etc.) or <u>Bob Hallowell</u> (<u>XANDO</u>, etc.). <br> | |||
He was aware that <u>AQUARIUS 2000</u> was being written up <br> | |||
but hadn't seen the article. Made a copy for him. <br> | |||
Took a copy of ''<u>MOVES</u>'' (#3). Had an ad for <u>FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR</u> <br> | |||
a new game by Simulations; long article on <u>LEIPZIG</u>; a new <br> | |||
scenario "Bicocca" for <u>TAC-14</u>; a "Compendium of Wargame <br> | |||
Publications" by George Phillies; another new Simulations game <br> | |||
ad - <u>SOLDIERS</u>; a <u>KURSK</u> "revision". <br> | |||
Took another copy of ''<u>S & T</u>'' #32, also a better sheet of counters <br> | |||
to replace the faulty one in a copy I took last time. <br> | |||
In my talk with Al Nofi he said that Games Research had <br> | |||
decided to really start advertising <u>DIPLOMACY</u>. | |||
To Lakeside office at 200 5th (TCN). Spoke to a <u>Norman Stein</u> <br> | |||
(I believe). Told him about chance to get <u>THE IMPUZZABLES</u> <br> | |||
in ''<u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>''. He didn't have any there and will <br> | |||
have one mailed from the factory. I should get it in about a <br> | |||
week. Also asked him to send me <u>SPLIT-LEVEL AGGRAVATION</u> <br> | |||
and <u>CHAOS</u>, but not necessarily in such a hurry. | |||
