Endless Games (Nov '08) as answered by Kevin McNulty
Q - What are Fundex' greatest hits, and how would you describe your line of games overall?
A - The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, Password, Family Feud, The Newlywed Game, The Price Is Right DVD, and today, Million Dollar Password, featuring host Regis Philbin.

Our games are classic staples that never go out of style.

Q - Is there anything currently that you are looking for that is different than what you have done in the past?
A - I am looking for everything and nothing.

Q - How many games do you or your company review in a year?
A - We review approximately 600 games per year.

Q - How many games does your company usually release in a year?
A - We usually release 5 new games per year.

Q - Do you look at games by unknown inventors?
A - Most definitely. We prefer unknown inventors. Especially those who are starving, those who wear white belts and those who can't afford a hotel room.

Q - For beginning inventors, what would be the ideal way to approach and submit game ideas to you?
A - Call me for a cocktail.

Q - How long does it take from the time you receive a submission to the time you say 'yes' or 'no'?
A - We get back to everyone who sends us an idea, usually within 30 days.

Q - Does it depend on the time of the year, and if 'yes', what times of the year are best to submit?
A - We will review ideas at any time, however October and January are very busy for us so it may take a while longer then.

Q - What is the most common mistake you see from inventors?
A - The biggest problem would be an inventor who drops an idea in my lap instead of presenting a game concept that has been thought out including potential license, marketing and public relations ideas.

Q - If you were to give beginning inventors one bit of advice, what would it be?
A - Don't quit your day job
