"Editorial" asked readers to send in their old boxed games to<br> | |||
start a "game library".<br> | |||
Call from <u>Felicia</u>. Calculated % changes in my 3M games over<br> | |||
last year for her.<br> | |||
Told her about ad for <u>ART DARTS</u> in yesterday's paper.<br> | |||
2nd call. She had a letter from <u>Bob Johnson</u> saying that he didn't<br> | |||
have any games from her to evaluate. Previously he had indicated<br> | |||
that they weren't looking.<br> | |||
We discussed what she could send of mine. Came up with <u>PROFIT</u><br> | |||
and <u>SPECTRUM</u>. She was sure that Bob Johnson had seen<br> | |||
it. I thought that he hadn't, and certainly not since I made<br> | |||
the last change. (Checked in archives and they never saw it at Hallmark<br> | |||
at all.)<br> | |||
3rd call. <u>PROFIT</u> was in too bad shape to send today. I'll take it<br> | |||
with me next time I am in and redo it.<br> | |||
She was thinking of sending <u>ESPIONAGE</u> (see 4/27). Noticed<br> | |||
the Parker possibility of <u>ESPIONAGE</u> and realized that it must<br> | |||
be what later came out as <u>THE SIGMA FILE</u>.<br> | |||
Told her that Hallmark had never seen <u>SPECTRUM</u> and she <br> | |||
agreed that she was mistaken. In connection with Hallmark's<br> | |||
new concern with the names of the games (when she asked<br> | |||
Bob Johnson whether what <u>Burt Huber</u> had said applied to <br> | |||
things submitted to him, he said he was afraid that it did)<br> | |||
I told her that there is a German game <u>SPECTRUM</u> and that<br> | |||
<u>SPECTRA</u> just came out in England.<br> | |||
She also sent <u>HARDHAT</u> to Bob Johnson.<br> | |||
