Propaganda 16 ch11
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
With a new year to face, we're putting 1994 behind us, and with that in mind we enter a new chapter. 1994 was in- teresting in many ways. Unlike many other categories of social life, we lack an annual award, awarding people for their work and efforts during the year that passed. BEYOND FORCE did some- thing similar, calld Gallup'88, and in our eyes the idea was nothing but brilliant. We at Propagandastaff gathered up for a day, functioning as a jury, nominating people we thought made 1994 a memorable year. 12 months rests behind what you are about to witness. ________________________________________ d=b 'o' /_\ ___________________ The Annual PROPAGANDA POLLS PROPAGANDA POLLS 1994 ___________________ d=b 'o' /_\ ________________________________________ ___________________ G For splendid work Group of the Year early 1994 and for making cracking AVANTGARDE dangerous again.
