Career

In 1972, Peter Olotka, Jack Kittredge, Bill Eberle, and Bill Norton came together as the game design cooperative Future Pastimes.[1]:188 Seeking to publish their board game Cosmic Encounter, they met Ned Horn, who offered to invest in the game; several weeks later, Olotka, Kittredge, Eberle, and Horn created a new company, Eon Products, and Cosmic Encounter went to press in 1977.[1]:188 Additionally, Allen Varney of Dragon Magazine claimed Olotka mentioned the idea of creating a collectible card game as early as 1979.[2] Eberle, Kittredge, and Olotka designed Star Trek: The Enterprise Encounter (1985), a board game that mixes racing and set collection, for West End Games.[1]:189

Olotka released Cosmic Encounter Online in 2003, a high-tech Flash version of Eon's original game.[1]:188
