CD-Action was my main way to find out about incline (in pre internet era) and they have this year 20th anniversary.
For this occasion they packed all their 1994-2006 in pdf format and shipped them on DVD which comes with this month mag. I had paperback most of those years ago but alas i lost them someway.
Started to read and holy hell some holyshit nostalgia overload, so many fucking good games monthly covered, so many fucking cool games shipped on their CDs (mostly awesome demos and some great full versions). So i made this pseudo article to cover that year from point of view of Potato mag.

Well, that was fucking amazing month ? I guess it will be hard to top it for rest of the year huh ?
