SPAG

From IFWiki

SPAG, the Society for the Promotion of Adventure Games magazine (originally the Society for the Preservation of Adventure Games) is a webzine, founded in 1994 by Kevin Wilson. It is published several times a year, and contains articles discussing IF, interviews, and in-depth reviews under the SPAG Specifics brand. Until issue #61 SPAG published many reviews, but as there are now numerous websites for sharing reviews, regular reviews will no longer be accepted. Up until issue #28 (June 20, 2002), it also had a scoreboard which ranked games based on user votes but this feature has been dropped.

SPAG Specifics

SPAG Specifics is an occasional feature that offers an in-depth critical analysis of a game, and unlike a normal review, a SPAG Specifics review deliberately contains spoilers. Here is a list of those works of IF that have been analyzed:
