Space Gamer #44

Space Gamer #44 (cover date October 1981) provides a plethora of pages presenting past pearls – and the articles are fun to read, too!

In addition to the regular game reviews, news, and letters, this issue includes rules for radiation in Dungeons & Dragons; detailed rules for tanks and hovercraft in Traveller; a humans-versus-aliens scenario for Killer; a discussion of demographics in fantasy worlds; and a company report for T-Rex, maker of miniatures. For historians (or time-travelers planning on becoming stuck in 1981), this issue also comes with a computer buying guide, describing the then-current state of the art.

Whether you're a fan of old-school gaming or a historian of our hobby, each issue of Space Gamer is the perfect passport to the past!
