<br> | <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. | |||
