Propaganda 16 ch11

From C64 Diskmag Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
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.

 LEGEND
 Another year passed and long lost fames
 failed to adapt to the new scene.

 CENSOR
 Announced never to release a demo on
 the 64 again.


 THE FORUM+TERMINAL OBSESSION
 Two boards that saw light of day
 again, and then shut down for good.

 GENESIS*PROJECT
 Starting out on the prowl, and at one
 point started delivering, only to
 vanish into various directions later.

 THE PULSE
 We saw one of the sharpest magazines
 through all times take farewell.

 THE SHAOLIN TEMPLE
 Another legendary board goes down.
 Let us hope the rumours are true.
