Looking for an old computer magazine containing a Spacewar-related ad. Have
been tracking<https://www.google.com/search?q=%22spacewar%22&tbs=bks:1,cdr:1,cd_min:1800,cd_max:1972&lr=lang_en#lr=lang_en&q=%22spacewar%22&start=20&tbm=bks&tbs=cdr:1,cd_min:1800,cd_max:1972,lr:lang_1en,sbd:1>down
old journals, but the research library I have access to does not have
any of these.

There was a report in 1969 on the Fall Joint Computer Conference from 1968
(the one Engelbart was at) where they showed Spacewar running on a Data
General NOVA. Data General then put an ad showcasing the game in several
books and magazines. Unfortunately, even though the ad was published in
three different journals, I don't have access to any of them through the
research library. I was wondering if anyone here had one of these and could
provide a copy. Issues are from 1969.

Control Engineering Vol. 16 p. 12
Datamation Vol. 15 p. 152
