 From now on, the Propaganda News will
 be devoted in an entirely different way
 than before. Instead of just reporting
   plain facts, we treat and research
         among the top groups.

  THE ONES TAKEN UP HERE, ARE THE ONES
   THAT MADE IT VOTED INTO THE TOP-10

________________________________________
 Millions of us wonder about the future
of the successful group. After the bust
 a few months ago (HERO & GENE), it has
 grown terribly quiet, and the loss of
  PUDWERX a few months back was not a
   a lucky pitch either. Releasewise,
 they've lost ground, and I dare saying
  they are a rare breed on the boards
 right now. Still, however, TRONIC, is
  doing a fine job with the release of
  his WIDESCREEN, a 1OO% devoted movie
     magazine, for the true addict.

________________________________________


Furthermore, rumour has it, ATMOS, once
 in LEGEND, later on hacking cards for
  ILS will have to stop due to a job.
   People still vote, perhaps out of
   habit. We await the next episode.

             RED SECTOR INC

           (Germany, UK, USA)
________________________________________
 Red Sector, on their behalf have been
  showing intense progress since their
  return about a year ago. Many of the
people, scenewise, were reluctant about
the abilities of this force, but at this
time we know they were wrong. Their WHQ,
FORPLAY has been down for a while, it is
 their main goal making it the fastest
    and biggest ever in 8-bitstory.
  According to Psychobilly, the board
  will boast 96OO BPS-speed, Ramlink,
 4 MHZ boostercard, 1.2 gigabyte Hard-
    drive and UCBBS+C*Base-options.



This leaves most other boards on the 64
 look rather pale, and I take of my hat
   and salute the RED SECTOR guys for
 daring to invest on the 8-bit-market.

   Any rumours about the death of RED
 SECTOR are thereby untrue, as they re-
main on this machine, putting out wares.

BULLETPROOF, their trendy papermagazine
edited by DENSE is delayed, as with all
 other magazines these days (apart from
          PROPAGANDA that is!)

RED SECTOR deserve with full credit the
spot they've reached, and it is my firm
 belief that this is no come&go-group.

                 LEGEND
                 LEGEND

(Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, UK)
________________________________________
One has to admire LEGEND. No matter what
 happened, they always maintained their
own personal style. They kept releasing
  Brittish fullpricegames, even though
the amount of them decreased, while ALL
  OTHER GROUPS started releasing wares
 from other Software houses. (Unless I
   decided to count their release of
      AM0BA a billion years back)

  Right now, you may not see very much
 from LEGEND, for obvious reasons. The
 amount of Brittish fullpricegames has



   been dangerously low the past few
months. No worries, LEGEND have a solid
and steady support of fans, that always
  make sure they end up in the charts
   anyway, whether they crack or not.

LEGEND plan to stay on the Commodore 64,
 at least all 1993, since they have 3
fixers working top priority for them.
Cards is not a problem, and neither is
 originals (if the Software Houses put
 them out, that is!). From 1994, LEGEND
 will move more and more towards the PC
   and I await that with impatience.

SH0CK, the magazine from LEGEND, edited
 by SKATER is once again delayed. There

________________________________________


 will be yet another issue on disk, and
  there will be at least one on paper,
but at this time, SKATER is either lost
  in the trail of a PC or somewhere on
               holidays.

________________________________________
SUCCESS is yet another group with their
  own very personal image. Almost un-
noticed by everybody else, they pump out
 tons of releases, and good ones. It's
as though they entered a magic era from
  Christmas and onwards, starting with
 the release of CRAZY CARS III. Sharing
a successful board like DIVINE ULTIMATUM
 together with GENESIS is also a clever
 move. Futurewise, SUCCESS still has a
  lot more to give, and we'll be there
with them as they take on us with pride.

            GENESIS PROJECT

(Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, USA)
________________________________________
  During the last few months, GENESIS
  PROJECT has shown incredibly intense
 activity since March/April this year.
Members were added, some old returned,
while some were removed. The result of
   this action has in many ways been
 noted. They aimed back at the European
  market, they lost over a year back,
 and claimed back market they deserved.
The myth about the group and Antichrist
 seems to vanish, slowly, leaving only
the fair treatment they so well deserve.
 It took an organizational turn, where



LA STYLE and TYGER worked on the German
section, with NEWSCOPY and JUCKE taking
   care of the Scandinavian section.

  SNACKY and GOBLIN are both seriously
 considering comebacks on the machine,
 but only time will tell. DECOY DESIGN
  an admirable artist, returned to the
 scene, renamed to SANDERS and entered
 the squad. SES, old coder (of this mag
 as well) is coming back, and the best
 swappers on the 64, AIRWOLF and ASLIVE
joined in as well. Rumours about members
 from PANDORA being in are untrue. G*P
 will continue their crusade on the 64
until its very end, and from there take
it further. PROPAGANDA will be published
    monthly, and so will a lot more.

9O % of the GENESIS members possess
a modem, therefore 'modeming' has
not been added on the list of jobs.
Most members have smaller various
tasks, such as intros, supplying
etc, but we have clearly pointed
out their maintasks.
This is the complete list, and names
not on, are simply not in.



Furthermore, GENESIS*PROJECT has set
up so called DISTRIBUTION SIGHTS, at
far away locations in the world. These,
however, are not connected to G*P member
wise, but stock all their latest
productions.

 Chromance have been slightly inactive
 compared with their previous perform-
ances around Christmas 1992. Some inter-
esting thins are occuring though. ROUGH
 and BLOCKBUSTER are finding their way
back to the scene, and seeing old people
 come back, is as said a million times
    before, always a pleasant sight.
 Chromance's present goal is to get more
 active again, and continue their task.
 JINX is working on a game together with
 GTA. I hope, for the sake of CHROMANCE
    they will rock the nation again.

     (United Kingdom, Germany, USA)
________________________________________
 Talent may have seemed like a group
taking more time off from the scene, but
   the issue is completely different.
Due to a lack of wares, many groups tend
to look lazy, even though they are not.

 BOD is always doing an impressive job
 taking care of the group, as though it
 was his own very son. In a way it is.

 MAJESTY does the PR-job, regardless
if he intends to or not. His name seems
  to perform miracles just by 'being'.



The addition of ROCKSTAR must be looked
   upon as a valuable expansion, as a
 cracker, or just as a name. Surprising.

 The loss of XXX to LEGEND a while back
 may have been hazardous, but they have
  made a quick recovery, and will stay
  on top, unless they decide to quit.

 TALENT intend to continue as long as it
 does not bore them, and seek a card-
          hacker among others.

________________________________________
F4CG are going through very interesting
 phases. We haven't seen much from them
 lately, but God knows they're active!

 TUNNEL OF WARES, their board, has gone
through some neat changes, and is in my
    eyes experiencing a sudden rise.
 (Still it is always busy - annoying!)

 Most interesting about F4CG this month
is their plans to hit the SUPERNINTENDO-
 scene. No, they will not leave the 64



until the scene goes down, I assure you,
   but a solid SNES-section is under
    development by NINJA and SOLAR.

   Starting up on a new format, from
 scratch takes time, but F4CG have some
juicy aces up their sleeves to take them
 to console-success. God luck, friends!

           THE RULING COMPANY
           THE RULING COMPANY

(Holland, Germany, France, Switzerland,
            Spain, Austria)
________________________________________
THE RULING COMPANY is one of the groups
that always go their own way. They never
 seem to mind what people say or think,
 they just keep on strolling their own
 path up the alley of 8-bit addiction.

 Lately they have performed some success
 ful moves, such as joining up with the
 board VIRTUAL REALITY together with
  ARMAGEDDON and the other fine system,
    IN LIVING COLOR, that we warmly
               recommend.



   Some changes member-wise have also
occured. NIGHTSHADE quit the 64 (bozo!),
  AUDIENCE got booted and ended up in
  SUNRISE, HELLRAISER left for an old
 group and the funny frog from France,
    CHIPSTER(ex.DEADLINE) joined up.

 THE RULING COMPANY intend to continue
 on the 64 for a long time to come. They
 consider themselves to be a funny group
and do not really care about competition
at all. The Dutch members are at current
   time working on a game, which has
delayed their demos. IRONCAT is working
 on a musicdisk, and a 1-sided demo is
               on the way

              ALPHA FLIGHT
              ALPHA FLIGHT

             (Germany, USA)
________________________________________
 An old group returning to the scene is
  always a pleasant occurence. So far,
 we have seen one release, Spaze Duel,
 fixed by EMPIRE. ALPHA FLIGHT took up
  a board in the 314-area, that goes
 by the name THE EVIL ISLAND, which is
as I write definately picking up speed.

 Many of the original members are in but
 a lot more has been added to the list.
 Some old and familiar faces, like SKID
ROW and SKINHEAD, old HYSTERIC-profiles
             and some more.



It is my firm belief that we can expect
  a lot more from ALPHA FLIGHT in the
  future, no matter what. It would be
  sad seeing an old group coming back,
  and then leaving just a month later
  since they couldn't take it. I pray
 this is not the issue. Good luck pals!

  THE MONTH IN BRIEF  OVERALL COMMENT
  THE MONTH IN BRIEF, OVERALL COMMENT

________________________________________
   It has been a hilarious month. Now
   looking back at it, I'm more than
                pleased.

It must be considered as the month, when
most people returned to the 64, and more
   are finding their way back to the
     machine. Look at it this way:

          ALPHA FLIGHT returns

   SKINHEAD starts calling out again

         PANDORA does the same



  ONEWAY, return, and put out releases

  DECOY DESIGNS returns, joins GENESIS

     ROUGH comes back, in CHROMANCE

   MATT MURDOCK ex.ONEWAY, EXACT and
     RAW DEAL comes back as painter

     HOOKIE, ex.EXACT, ROUGH TRADE
    comes back, probably to GENESIS

  Regard this with a smile, a laugh or
 however you choose to take it. I take
  it with a giggle, and a warm feeling
                inside.





 Furthermore, there are some smaller
 news, worth mentioning.

 EVS/20CC will put up a board in
 Holland named DOWNTOWN. We advise
 you to be there on opening day, since
 it will be bonanza.

 Our dear friend TRICKET, once upon a
 a time a true DOMINATOR, joined the
 talents in VISUAL REALITY, and DOMINIC
 is thereby a VR-board. MIKE/VR started
 calling out.

     DOMINIC is out at XXXXXXXXXXXX

 What happened to the American force
 that was supposed to take on the world?



 RAW, or RUDE AWAKENINGS vanished into
  something I cannot define. Can you?

 Phew, that rounds it up for this time.
   A juicy compilation of what the 64
    has to offer. Look at it as your
    bible. At least I do. Until next
                 time.
