Contents

[edit]

Autoduel Quarterly was a magazine that included supplementary material meant to be used with the game Car Wars.[1] Steve Jackson Games moved the material for Car Wars from The Space Gamer to Autoduel Quarterly beginning in 1983; the editor for the new magazine was Car Wars line editor Scott Haring.[2]: 103  When the company stopped publishing Space Gamer, its last remaining magazine was Autoduel Quarterly, which had a circulation of 12,000 at the time, and the company continued publishing it quarterly through 1992 for a total of 40 issues.[2]: 107 

Reception

[edit]

Ronald Pehr reviewed Autoduel Quarterly in Space Gamer No. 67.[1] Pehr commented that "How good is Autoduel Quarterly? Well, I'm not running a Car Wars campaign right now and I loved it – and I'll buy the next issue."[1]

GeekDad wrote that Autoduel Quarterly had "One nice touch was that each issue was shipped with a protective white cover around it. These covers typically had an entertaining cartoon on the front while on the inside was either an order form, a game nomination form for the yearly Origin game gathering, and other odds and ends."[3]
