Pioneer54 -

Nice post as usual. Yes, the long term plan is agressive, but possible if done correctly and with a large influx of sponsorship. The reason why Pente 'died' after 1984 shortly after Parker Brothers bought it is that they owned exclusive rights to it but put NO money into promoting it. There was nothing that anyone could do without buying the rights from them. We do NOT know why they decided NOT to promote it because it had great popularity in the early '80's. I can even remember seeing it in 2-3 different night-clubs that I frequented during my younger years. Obviously a single individual by the name of Gary Gabrel, who invented the game, was able to bring it to great popularity so it is VERY disappointing that a LARGE gaming company chose not to.

Everyone should see my next post because I think EVERYONE will like what they see.
