About the game FUTURE.
At lunch walked over to I/S. Picked up GO SEE - A GLOBAL HOLIDAY
& POTENTIAL (which she found).
She showed me a letter describing two mechanical games:-
MANNED ORBIT - magnetic game of orbitting a projectile around the moon without getting it caught by the moon's "gravity".
SCORE 64 - Getting magnetic pcs. into scoring spaces. 64 is particularly hard to attain.
Alice told me that Lakeside had bought out [crossed out]
TANTILIZER, the manipulating puzzle worked thru a mirror. They want to reduce the royalty to 2 1/2% and only thru 1968. If not they'll change the name and put it out anyway.
Claude, Arthur, Paul Millazzo and a number of his business
associates (and a potential backer) here to see my game
room. Arthur showed POWUR, and I played part of a game with
him. (Was winning when we stopped.)
Claude showed LOA & WATCH.
I showed RED LETTER & GO SEE - A GLOBAL HOLIDAY.
(LOA, Red Letter & Go See - A Global Holiday were particularly
popular.)
Later I showed Paul AIRLINE which he also liked.
Paul hopes to have a number of games ready for the Toy
Fair next March, just a few prototype models. Of course every-
thing depends on how CAMPAIGN and BIG FUNERAL do.
Paul is trying to interest some airlines in having games in their
lounges and would like a game that would be appropriate. I
told him about CORPORATION and he was interested.
Paul's lawyer thought that I could pretty easily get money from
a foundation to do a scholarly book on games.
Paul was going to a Toy Fair in Atlanta this Thursday thru
Monday. He asked if I wanted to go - he'd pay my expenses, but
not my pay. Too short notice.
Claude has a new setup for WATCH as shown.
