PDRoms mentioned in Computerbild-Spiele 03-2003 (misc)
Just idled around in #pdroms on EFNET and someone called "Snesy" entered the chat. He left a message that "PDroms has been mentioned in a german magazine for computer games". Unfortunatlyhe left until he said the name of the magazine. After a few searches on the net I found out that "Computerbild-Spiele" mentioned PDroms somehow. Anyone got a scan of that? I'd really appreaciate it :) Read more about PDRoms mentioned in Computerbild-Spiele 03-2003 (misc)
