               SINCLAIR USER

                  1982-1993



     Of all the magazines sinklerovskih Sinclair User
was the longest-lived. He was first, ahead of
its main competitors CRASH and Your Sinclair
for two years, though, and ended its existence on
year earlier than Your Sinclair. His 11-year life
divided into four major stages:


1982-85: most boring and very "serious", ori
        incubated in the descriptions, instructions, programs
        derivations, etc., had little game time
        Affairs.

1985-88: noticeably began to dominate the game. "Serious
        LIMITED "section is almost completely gone.

1988-92: 8-bit cluster of the war. Basic 8-bit
        nye magazines, including SU, became the first
        Section thinner (only a few dozen countries
        SIC) built into the cover of the cassette,

        became the main topic of conversation. She

        contained all sorts of games and trivia.

1992-93: SU teams up with CRASH (or, more exactly
        it absorbs CRASH, since edition cancels
        is). In 1993 he was made Napo
        half of the program never saw the light output.


     Sinclair User was the only sinklerovskim
magazine, spin the draft (no doubt due to
publisher, EMAP has been and remains the largest publishing 
company in Britain). There were three projects: Sinclair 
Projects (1982-83), Sinclair Programs (198284) and three 
Sinclair User Annuals (1983, 1984, 1985) which were reissued in 
1995.

         Memorable sections of Sinclair User

           (To be remembered for order)



     Score Gilbert. Rating system, most
named in honor of editor SU, John Gilbert,
worked in 1983-86, respectively. The game, which was estimated 
assessment Hilbert - 9, since 1985, was awarded the prize 
"Sinclair User Classic". Later, under certain circumstances, 
this assessment has been redone in a much less interesting 
system of stars (of five). 



     Proudly Greytbelli (a pseudonym). "Lord of the land" from 
the "Dancing ogre", "Tolkienskoy taverns. "From 1984 to 1988 
was printed in the column adventyur SU. Although the tips were 
less than an inch articles than the competition, but the 
presentation was quite entertaining. "Gordo" was the name for 
those who wrote an article on adventyurah (often it was

Lloyd Mengrem).


     Magnificent sarcastic. Argues that
Mark Cale, System 3 boss (notorious for last
Ninja) would call the new game of Twister, Mother
of the Harlots, until he was told that the Harlot -
a prostitute. (The game was called Twister, Mother
of Charlotte, which reduced the suspicion of a possible family 
connection with the Bronte.) 



     Bear bombers. Also known as "the
d ** m bear. "The name still makes shudder spektrogolikov. It 
first appeared on the cover in June 1987 as an ordinary bear, 
glued a plaster on a jeep from the Army Moves. was soon 
revamped (albeit unsuccessfully) in the comic elite soldier, 
fleeing from the law. Transferred to section tips, he became a 
Marine sergeant (Full metal skin made Girlie Tipsterom, If you 
own this represents).
