Throwback Thursday - Dragon #69 Adverts

Looking back to January 1983 and issue #69 of TSR's Dragon Magazine, here's a glimpse at what advertisers thought would stir the imaginations of gamers on the inside front cover, inside back cover, and back cover respectively.  The first was from TSR themselves for Star Frontiers.  The second was black and white from FASA for their great Star Trek game.  The last of the three leveraged the time honored Tolkien property from Iron Crown Enterprises.  Enjoy!
