to talk about it. I tried to convince him that I wasn't the | to talk about it. I tried to convince him that I wasn't the | ||
right one to do the shop drawings since mechanical and | right one to do the shop drawings since mechanical and | ||
electrical knowledge | electrical knowledge was involved, but he doesn't know any one | ||
else to do it. There is $1500, or possibly a little more, in | |||
it for me, if I do it. Left it that he'd call me when he gets back from Xerox. | |||
Call from <u>Howie Barasch</u>. He asked me the manufacturer | |||
of <u>4000 A.D.</u> and <u>STARLORD</u>. | |||
He rcd. <s>a copy</s> copies of the "Statis-Pro Games" (what I later | |||
found out were) <u>UNITED STATES AUTO CLUB AUTO RACING GAME</u> and | |||
<u>MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL GAME</u>. Tho they weren't sent specifically | |||
to me he'll hold them for me. | |||
Call from <u>Felicia</u>. She rcd. a call from Allaire Urban Karzon of | |||
<s>All</s> Aladdin, who called to say she rcd. the contracts | |||
(<u>TOTALLY--</u>, <u>INTERSECTION</u>, <u>PUSHOVER</u>, and <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>. She is | |||
putting the checks in the mail tonight. Felicia told her that | |||
I would be very happy to get the check as soon as possible (or | |||
something like that). Karzon said that <s>sh</s> they wanted Mr. | |||
Sackson to have a clear mind to make up a lot more games for them. | |||
She has played some of the ones they have of mine and likes them | |||
a lot. | |||
Felicia asked if I was submitting games to Aladdin other than | |||
thru her. <u>Keith Tuggle</u> told her that heard that I was (??). | |||
I said that I hadn't and that the only one I planned to | |||
was <u>TRANSFORMATION</u>, which I had created specifically for | |||
<u>Tom Atwater</u>, when it was returned from Stancraft. She said | |||
that she wants all of my games to Aladdin to go thru her. | |||
She'll give Atwater the commission. I said that I respected | |||
her feelings in the matter and would see that Atwater didn't | |||
submit it to Aladdin. Also that perhaps they could split commissions - | |||
such as 15% and 15%, with 70% to me. | |||
The fellow who sent the original letter to <u>INCOME OPPORTUNITIES</u> | |||
(see 8/19) contacted her. He has a game <u>JET CAPTAIN</u>, which | |||
allows the players to make some of the decisions in flying | |||
a jet plane. She doubts it she'll handle it. | |||
<u>Alan Newman</u> is picking up some <u>GAME</u>s for me in Canada, on | |||
his vacation. (How does she know? Card from Alan?) | |||
Rcd. letter from <u>Haar Hoolim</u>. Enclosed a letter he had sent to | |||
<u>JOURNAL OF RECREATIONAL MATHEMATICS</u> and which was returned | |||
marked "Moved, not forwardable." I'll have to check with <u>Martin Gardner</u>. | |||
Mentions <u>STACK-UP</u>, <u>TURNOVER</u>, <u>JOINING</u>, <u>CROSSOVER</u>, and <u>DOUBLE</u>. | |||
He enclosed complete rules for <u>DOUBLE</u>. | |||
Called <u>Tom Atwater</u> and told him not to send <u>TRANSFORMATION</u> to Aladdin. | |||
Suggested the 15%-15% split and he said that would be o.k. He has | |||
