Desperate Plea for Hockey Help

The not-ready-to-turn-pro hockey team of Buffalo Games, the bizarrely named Slamcows,
are struggling mightily. Once a team that made the playoffs perennially, the Slamcows
have been on the outside looking in for two years now, and are 3 games under .500
already this season. If you have any secret slapshot tips, skating workout drills, or a good
set of 'positive thinking' tapes, we could use your help. You can email your suggestions
to slamcows@buffalogames.com.

Top International Art
Licenses Sign with BGI

Puzzle lovers, nature lovers, animal lovers - quite

often people are all three simultaneously. We have targeted this
lucrative market with three new lines featuring some of the
biggest names in art.

T he Hautman Brothers(p. 30) are one of the Top 10

valued art licenses in the world. Their images appear in the
Oval Office and Smithsonian, and all 3

brothers have won the Federal Duck Stamp competition. Their
exquisite artwork flows from their love of the outdoors, and we
are pleased to offer four of their most famous wildlife images as
Signature 1000 puzzles

.

Judy Larson (p.32) has had a lifelong love of horses

and wolves, and she masterfully translates this through a very
intricate process known as scratchboard. This is merely half the
story, though. Each piece of art also features concealed imagery
- sometimes mysterious - always beautiful - which has earned her
a wide and devoted audience.

The most influential marine artist of our time, W yland

(p.34) is the painter behind Whaling Walls - huge marine murals which often span the
entire length of major urban buildings. Four of his most vibrant images are offered in our
Signature 1000 range - each depicting Wyland's love for a different ocean creature. This
is another Top 10 International Art License, and one that consumers are sure to know.

Two More
Disney Lines
added for 2004

Buffalo Games is proud to be
strengthening its relationship with
Disney, and is introducing two
more magical puzzle lines for
2004. Disney Vintage Posters

TM

(p.28) are the
classic
marquees that
originally
heralded the
launch of
animated
Disney movies
and shorts -
and now they're
part of our

Signature 1000

TM

puzzle line. See

page 28 of our catalog for such
vintage lithographs as Steamboat
Willie and 101 Dalmatians.

Disney Sketchbook

TM

(p.52)

puzzles have to rank as one of the
coolest puzzle lines we have ever
introduced. Ever wondered how
Mickey always looked the same
from cartoon to cartoon, even
though scores of animators were
working separately? Walt Disney
ensured consistency by establishing
guidelines and
rules on how to
draw each
Disney
character, no
matter what
mood or
situation the
character was in. Our Disney
Sketchbook puzzles feature actual
animators' drawings and notes -
some dating back to the 1920's
and 30's - which make up these
guides. Part of our BGI
