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.
