This is the March 1983 issue of SOFTLINE magazine, Volume 2, #4, featuring a unique cover subject of a chessboard with stylized chess pieces, titled "THE NEW COMPETITORS" with the intriguing challenge "Name All Eight And Win!". The cover also displays what appear to be two electronic chess timers or small computers, hinting at the magazine's focus on technology and gaming.Inside, this vintage computing periodical delves into various articles, including "Adventures in Adventuring: The Challenge of the Adventure Writers Guild," "The New Competitors," "Thinking a Program," "New Players: Mind Games," and "Profile of a Programmer: Roger Keating Strategizes with Kangaroo." It also features advertisements for classic software and games of the era, such as 'Ultima II' on the back cover. This issue is a fascinating look into the early days of personal computer software and gaming culture, making it a valuable piece for collectors of computer history and retro gaming ephemera.This listing includes 1x Magazine. A mailing label is present on the front cover.
