It's an article of advice on a game called Uncharted Waters from the early '90's. Page 78, http://pdf.textfiles.com/zines/CGW/1992_06_issue95.pdf

Amazing find, Aldy! :D

Coincidentally, UW and UW 2 were among my favorite video games of the Famicom era! - Noticeably enough, they might have been the first really balanced attempts on *open world* rpgs, outside of Squaresoft's "Romancing Saga" series.

It makes me smile to think that Mr Arneson spend probably as much time playing the game as I did. :)
