25 Wednesday - July 1973
St. James Apostle - 206th day - 159 days to come
Rcd. [received] a letter from Tom Atwater. He rcd. HIT THE JACKPOT and it has
already been rejected by Parker (the hush-hush company). He'd
like to try it elsewhere.
Also sent a check for $10.31 and a statement covering TEMPO,
ODD OR EVEN, INTERPLAY, and TRANSFORMATION.
Call from Phil Orbanes. He mentioned: CROSSFIRE and the
preferred name MISSING LINKS. He tried it with the four corner
spaces missing and it can result in ties. Now he figures on
having it played identically with HEX, except that there are circles
that will be connected by lines; PAYOFF- he asked me what we had
agreed on as payoff values. Told him that I thought we had agreed to
eliminate them (making the name a little inaccurate); TRIVIA;
POWER NETWORK - suggested the name EXPOSE; SPRINT - suggested
the name RALLY; SPACE STATIONS; LAPS; COMBINATIONS.
Phil has a date set up with Carl Eisenberg and their wives to
test the games Friday.
He asked if I could come down to do some testing and I arranged to
do it today.
