Great Mag

Great mag covering video games 20 years prior and beyond. Featuring an array of interviews with developers you simply won't find elsewhere along with articles shining a spotlight on both popular as well as lesser known and more obscure titles along the way. The mag hit the 20 year mark not too long ago so here's hoping to at least another 20 years.
