Owens - Illinois finally decided against doing <u>MINEFIELD</u>. Among other | |||
things, Felicia said that there is now govt. specs on the permissible | |||
noise level for games and toys.<br> | |||
There are a number of non-game items that she and another | |||
client are working on that are coming very well.<br> | |||
They are very interested in "electronic" games or other | |||
playthings.<br> | |||
She tried again to sell them on <u>3D BOXES</u> but they said it | |||
looked too much like other things. They have plenty of | |||
plastic - having layed in a big supply.<br> | |||
I mentioned the Lily Cup <u>GAME</u> and she said that when | |||
she mentioned that I was thinking about such a game they | |||
looked at each other as if something was in the works, but | |||
they didn't say anything.<br> | |||
Told her that I had been working hard on <u>FOREIGN INTRIGUE</u> to have | |||
ready to show <u>Bob Johnson</u> when he comes in in January. She | |||
said that he had said that he would try to come in in January, | |||
but it was definitely not a promise to be here.<br> | |||
Felicia said that manipulative games are the coming thing. I | |||
mentioned that war games and sports games were also | |||
big. She said that the "Sports Illustrated Games" had | |||
folded. | |||
Call from <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. The expanding files cost them | |||
$1.25 in quantities of 6. He ordered 6 for me which I can | |||
probably pick up next week. He'll take the price out of | |||
my <u>REALM</u> royalties. (see his secretary - Carrie.)<br> | |||
Next week he is going to California to look over the | |||
games "Dynamic Design" plans to produce in 1974. The takeover | |||
of D.D.I. by "National Paragon" went thru. D.D.I. and "Hoi-Polloi" | |||
will both be ended and will go under the name of | |||
"Reiss Games."<br> | |||
I asked if "Mag-Nifs" takeover of "Skor-Mor" had gone thru. | |||
No.<br> | |||
"Mag-Nif," however, is opening a showroom at 200 Fifth. | |||
<u>Jerry Goldstein</u> will be in charge.<br> | |||
