---- | ---- | ||
To I/S @ 11:00. John Rocknowski and the new head of the <br> | |||
game developement there - <s>Showed Ed</s> Bob Engel, <br> | |||
Showed Bob my games. John didn't play or pay much <br> | |||
attention to them. Showed : - <br> | |||
<u>HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME</u> : - Alice joined us and we played <br> | |||
two deals. Bob liked it but said at present they are <br> | |||
staying away from card games. Took notes for future <br> | |||
reference. I took it home to repair the box which <br> | |||
was ruined because X put tape on it. <br> | |||
<u>FOA</u> which I changed the name to <u>FREE FOR ALL</u> : - This <br> | |||
he liked and wants me to send as soon as possible. <br> | |||
<u>TAM-BIT</u> : - Liked the idea but wants to wait a while <br> | |||
with sending it in. I told him I could probably develope <br> | |||
it for 3 & 4 players. This, of course, he wants me to do. I'll talk to him about it next time he's in. | |||
<u>NEWTOWN</u> : - He didn't care for this . Under the rules <br> | |||
of drawing cards one at a time it was rather dull. <br> | |||
Probably dealing out a number of lot cards abd <br> | |||
then bidding on others would be more interesting. <br> | |||
<u>THE FIRST MILLION</u> : - Just told him the bare essentials, <br> | |||
they were out of time. Wants to look at it again next <br> | |||
time he is in town. <br> | |||
<u>MARLBORO COUNTRY </u>: - Just gave him a short rundown and he <br> | |||
liked it well enough to have it sent in, Said I'd have <br> | |||
have the two of them ready in about 3 weeks. Alice <br> | |||
<s>John said th</s> suggested the name <u>COW COUNTRY</u>. | |||
John said that <u>FOCUS</u> is very popular with their salesmen <br> | |||
and that they get a lot of fan mail. He figures that <br> | |||
there will be a new run the middle of next year. They <br> | |||
will put new art work of a more adult nature on <br> | |||
the box. <br> | |||
Alice mentioned Watkins - Strathmore and I brought up <br> | |||
<u>36 FITS</u> & <u>PASS-O</u>. Bob said he'd send me a copy of each <br> | |||
and also 6 more copies of <u>FOCUS</u>. | |||
The 2 registered letters on <u>OPERATION SEARCH</u> came. <br> | |||
Rcd. a short letter from Haar Hoolim containing a copy <br> | |||
of his letter to Piet Hein & Life International. | |||
Rcd. a brochure from Flaghouse, Inc. 112 Fourth Ave. <br> | |||
(OR 4-7070) | |||
They listed <u>KALAH</u>, <u>4-CYTE</u>, FACTS-IN-FIVE, <br> | |||
<u>TANTALIZER</u>, <u>WFF'N PROOF</u>, <u>MANDALAY</u>, <u>TRIANGLES</u> (Think <br> | |||
I'll get the latter.) |
