Found thanks to a Video Game History Foundation tweet (Xcancel link, Bluesky link); you can browse the magazine (the November 1983 issue of Electronic Games) and do full text searches in their archive.

Oh sick they have gamefan and the dreamcast magazine!
The VGHF Archive is rad as hell—you can do full text search across their entire library with filters and sorting, and since they use a custom OCR solution developed in-house that actually works on magazines the results are actually useful. Aside from your typical gaming magazines, they’ve also got some cool developer archives (e.g. the Myst collection which has 100+ hours of raw footage), developer/trade magazines, exhibition pamphlets (like this MGS4 magazine that was passed out at E3 2006)…all kinds of neat stuff. They’ve also got a podcast which I really enjoy (this interview they did with longtime GamePro employees was a fun episode).
