pacman000 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Got a comic book for Christmas. Had this ad in it. Does anyone know anything about the magazine in the ad? I can't find anything on it, except for the fact it was advertised in the back of a few comic books in the early 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacman000 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Meant to include a pic, but it didn't upload. Give me a day or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman000 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Here's a picture of the ad. It doesn't sound like that great of a magazine, but it does seem strange that it's kinda fallen off the face of the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It would be interesting if anyone had scans of it. I never heard or seen it BITD. Digitpress.com doesn't have any scans in their library. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman000 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Arcade+action+magazine%22&prmd=ivns&filter=0 No one seems to have any scans; no one seems to have mentioned it. Googling for the phrase "Arcade Action Magazine," in quotes to limit the large number of false positives, returns this thread, a comic book seller noting that it was advertised in a specific comic book, a spam site consisting of a lot of random gaming phrases strung together to create a paragraph which will occasionally pass Google's muster for very rare queries, and another spammer who scraped this thread and is using the text in some sort of re-direct scheme.
