One thing I do like about the older magazine is all the writing is at the top of the magazine so you get almost full cover art without writing being all over it. On the inside there is an ad for the Wilderness Survival Guide which is kind of funny seeing in 2019. 4 adventures all AD&D, probably gives you a hint on 1E relative to Basic in 1987. Falcons PeakBlood on the SnowThe Deadly SeaA Book with No EndEach adventure gets a descriptive paragraph and a Book with no End Stands out due to being for level 8-12 characters. Adventures for higher level 1E were not exactly common but a 4 level range is also kind of funny in modern terms. an ad for Adventures n Blackmoor credited to David Arneson is also interesting.  I quite like this issue for the variety. A book with no end is a wilderness travel adventure to a Dungeon, fairly typical 1E high level type but Blood on the Snow and The Deadly sea have a large amount of outdoors travel and exploration. In the Deadly Seas case some of it is under water, while Blood on the Snow is an arctic/snow type wilderness adventure. Falcons Peak is a small dungeon based adventure you could probably complete in 1 or 2 sessions.  My favorite on and the one I would consider running in 5E is The Deadly Sea. Aquatic adventures were not exactly unknown back then as several take place in such locations in the X series of modules or have elements of it- Isle of Dread, Quagmire, War Rafts of Kron.  And in 5E of course you have several converted in Ghosts of Saltmarsh.</blockquote>
