Missing Magazine(ish?) - Atari Age (1981)

So this one is a little complicated as 1) it's a newsletter and 2) an Atari Age entry already exists in the database.

If you have any further information regarding this newsletter, please chime in!

Atari Age was a seasonal b&w newsletter published by Atari and distributed by mail to Atari Game Club members. Introduced in 1981, the newsletter lasted only two issues before being replaced by its successor - also titled Atari Age - in 1982, rebooted as a bi-monthly full-color magazine.

Name: Atari Age (aka: Atari Age: The Official Newsletter of the Atari Game Club)

Website: who whats it now?

Country: USA

Number of issues: 2

Dates of each issue:

Volume 1 Number 1: Spring 1981

Volume 1 Number 2: Summer 1981

With the newsletter same-titled as the magazine, these newsletter issues could probably have been included with the current entry if not for some numbering conflicts introduced by the reboot. If indexed together in one entry, we'll have "duplicates" of v1n1 and v1n2. I'm thinking a new entry should eliminate any confusion. "Atari Age (1981)" for the newsletters along with renaming the current "Atari Age" to "Atari Age (1982)."

Atari Age (1981) is similar to the likes of Nintendo Fun Club and Top Score - it's an early newsletter which eventually evolved into a full-fledged magazine. Given we've indexed these kind of newsletters before, Atari Age (1981) should also qualify.
