Sinclair User was a magazine dedicated to the Sinclair Research range of home computers, most specifically the ZX Spectrum. Published by EMAP, it was printed in the UK between 1982 and 1993, and was the longest running Sinclair-based magazine.
Like many similar magazines, it contained sections of news, game reviews, previews, tips, help guides, columnists, reader's letters, and cover-mounted game demos.
In May 1992 the former rival publication CRASH was notionally subsumed into Sinclair User but in practice this meant little more than the addition of the Crash! logo to the magazine's cover page.
Many readers thought the inclusion of the cartoon character Kamikaze Bear to the magazine in the mid-80's marked it's change from a semi-serious magazine to something aimed more at children.
