| Here we go again. The YS Top Twenty, as prescribed by the
YS-reading public at large - no chart-fixing here. Yet again, a name has been pulled out of the hat by our editor and this time, the pathetic prize of three new software titles goes to Andrew Porter of Derriaghy, Lisburn. Remember, just keep sending in those polling slips and you too could bear the brunt of our outstanding meanness. This month, you can also see the first collection of Top Ten Turkeys which, as it turns out, is not much different to our original all-time Turkey Awards for 1983. You'll find them in Frontlines - but if you've got an all-time least favourite game, fill in the coupon below and send it off quick. If you take a good look at the coupon this month, you'll probably notice we've added a section - we now not only want you to tell us your top five raves, your top three turkeys, your name and address (whew!) ... but we'd also like to know why (in not more than 20 words) you've voted your favourite game to Number One. What for? We want to publish 'em, of course! |
