1982 Ad for Autoduel Quarterly Magazine

The Car Wars magazine, Autoduel Quarterly (find at Amazon.com*, find in PDF at Warehouse 23) was one of my favorite gaming supplements in the eighties. New rules, fiction, scenarios, and more made every issue of the magazine a fantastic bargain, and even today the forty-issue run is well worth chasing down if you’re a fan of automotive combat games.

Before the magazine launched, though, advertising was needed to get the word out. And that’s where this ad from Space Gamer in 1982 comes into the picture. It’s a pretty simple ad design, but considering how long the magazine ran after this ad was published I’m gonna say the ad worked out just fine.
