The Space Gamer is no longer being published as a separate
entity as it has been taken over by Diverse Talents, Inc., a
southern California group who is also publishing Fire & Movement.
(I believe they may also have some connection with Origins '86
which is going to be held in the LA Hilton.)  The people that used
to put out The Space Gamer, Steve Jackson Games, will continue to
publish Autoduel Quarterly (Car Wars magazine) as well as a 6-8
page spread consisting of Space Gamer-like material to be
published in The VIP of Gaming, also put out by DTI.
