MONDAY 7 APRIL 1969 97th day - 268 days to come

Harold Lazow called. I'll go there Friday to see SHOOT THE MOON. He apologized about being gone last Friday.

I called Bob Claude, person to person. They had applied for the name VENTURE before Parker & Will Erickson cleared it up with Hank Simmons. He wasn't too happy about my calling to check on the new name for their game, but I convinced him that I would be diplomatic. Asked him about SPELLBINDER. He said that they have been too busy since I resubmitted it have my panel testing. Asked him about the card number GAME they had been looking at. They changed it completely but, since they got the idea from him, they made him an offer which they didn't think he would accept, but he did. I asked, and told him about DIGIT. He said that their game was quite different from KRYPTO and by all means to send DIGIT. May 1st would be the absolute latest there would be any chance of test-marketing it this fall. They are not looking at any games for the next d90 days, except for submissions by about three people - and I am one of them.
