Rcd. letter from Tom Shaw. Mentioned FOUR-ARMED BANDIT, Don Greenwood, SLEUTH.
Visit from Jules Cooper and Phil Orbanes (after earlier call that from Phil in which he said that Jules didn't want to bring along George Dunsay. Elaborate lunch.
Phil brought the following: THE STING GAME, WELCOME BACK KOTTER, KING KONG. Jules saw lots of his games in my collection, including BANG, FLASH, INTRIGUE, LOGUS SR., PERCEPTION, DEAR ABBY, and just about all the Lowell games, and THE STOCK MARKET GAME. He thinks that THE BOSS is the best game he ever did- when kids play it they have a wonderful time. He asked if I had PERSON-ALYSIS; I checked and I didn't; he said that he may have an extra to contribute to my collection.
Jules said that MATOCA, even tho it wasn't his, was one of the best ever. The four of us started to play THE FAME GAME, but after a while Jules stopped it, saying that it had a lot of clever game devices but that it just didn't hold the interest. I agreed. Told him that I original- ly had it as FUN CITY, and it lost something in the translation.
