Sweet! That'll be a lot easier to consult than my hardcopy collection.

Are the mailing-label cartoons included, by any chance?

From what I can tell (I opened three issues at random and looked), they are not.

That June 22 line in the 2017 spec thread is getting pretty crowded.

Awesome news. There are some fun and historical articles in those magazines.

One of those issues (Sept 1982?) has my first-ever publication in print: a sentence-long magic item that got an "honorable mention" in the Magic in Car Wars contest.

I loved the old Space Gamer. There's some really good articles in there. I was recently re-reading June '81, the Traveller issue, which has a very rare "actual play" writeup by Marc Miller describing a blow-by-blow of how he GMed a Traveller adventure, something I don't think ever appeared anywhere else.
