<br><u>Bill Dohrmann</u> (who is now V.P. in charge of acquisitions) and
<u>Andrea Donahue</u> (who is now the head of the dept.) were in
to look at games. They liked <u>MASTER SPY</u>, <u>WILD WILD WEST!</u>,
and <u>DON'T <s>BURST</s> POP MY BALLOON</u> but they are not seriously begin-
ning to look until Feb. Felicia didn't let them take anything
with them. In Feb. either they'll come again or and Alan
will drive the two of them to Salem.
<br>They didn't like <u>STARSHIP EXPLORER</u>.
<br><u>Dick Harris</u>, in his visit, took <u>CIRCUS</u>. He also liked <u>OSMOSIS</u>,
and Felicia separated it from the rest of the group (how?
since it is part of <u>B-O-C-Q</u>). Dick will give it to <u>Mel Taft</u> as
a present. Mel is in charge of the M.B. European Subsidiaries
and perhaps the game will be used there.
<br>Dick (I am pretty sure she said that Dick said this) said
that Parker is coming out in '76 with a space game. This and
all their other games <s>with</s> will be gimmiky - no conventional
board games. Dick will wait to see how P. does with a space
game before thinking of doing one. Incidentally, he didn't
like <u>STARSHIP EXPLORER</u>.
<br>Felicia said she'd talk to Aladdin about <u>RED LETTER</u>. I told
her about <u>Ed Schifman</u> wanting to see <u>FOUR ARMED BANDIT</u>.
She'll try to set up a demonstration meeting.
<br>I told her I had the Aladdin ad from <u>G&P</u>. I'll drop
if off tomorrow.
