Phil said that except for the original five p & p games he will have to
collect royalties from me for "Gamut of Games". He said that it
wouldn't be more that 10%. I said that I certainly don't object,
even if it is a little bit more that 10%.<br>
I mentioned that I saw some Hoi Polloi and Mag-Nif games in Sears
catalog, but not the p & p games or the "Gamut" games. He said
that the games are being sold in stores, but they don't put things
in the catalog until they've been around awhile.<br>
Phil mentioned that I was lucky that <u>ACQUIRE</u> stays steady for so long.
Hoi Polloi things usually last only a few years.<br>
 
Played <u>TOGETHERNESS</u> with <u>Dave Horn</u> and we both found it pleasant.
Dave noticed the 3M <u>GO</u> game. [Illegible strikeout] Taught him the rules and played a

Talked to Felicia about <u>THE 31ST HEX</u> and <u>PUSHOVER</u>. She called
<u>Burt Huber</u> and he said that he still hadn't rcd. [received] them. There
is no particular hurry with making new models. I asked him
if he had any questions on my <u>HONORABLE RELATIONS</u> revisions.
No problems.
 
Back to "Gamut of Games". Djoli there and I thanked him for
bringing <u>TILT</u> and <u>ECOPLAY</u>. He said that I could have
<u>MACADAM</u>, and I said that of course if Phil wants to see the
board again I will bring it.<br>
Djoli and <u>Piere</u> played a lot of pin ball machines in Paris.
An electronic ping-pong game called <u>PONG</u>, played on
a video screen, is very popular in Paris.<br>
Djoli got together with <u>Graeme Levin</u> in Paris. Graeme is<br>
