HistoryeditThe magazine was launched in January 1. Your Spectrum by Sportscene Specialist Press,3 later renamed to Dennis Publishing in April 1. Initially, it was published bimonthly, changing to monthly in June 1. With the January 1. Your Sinclair, with the intention of expanding coverage of the QL into the main magazine previously, QL User had been a pull out section within the magazine, and any future computers produced by Sinclair. However, the magazine remained focused almost entirely on the ZX Spectrum games scene. In 1. 99. 0, the magazine was sold to Bath based Future plc, and the April 1. That issues news section contained a feature on the move, which jokingly suggested that Future had intended to buy a Sinclair C5 and had ended up buying the magazine by mistake. It folded in September 1. Spectrum ended and the magazine had fewer than 4. A 9. 4th issue, a retrospective on the magazine, was published in 2. Retro Gamer magazine. It featured interviews with notable writers and reviewers, a four page memoir written by former staff writer Phil South, and several new reviews and tips, keeping the style of the original magazine throughout. The magazine introduced a unique writing style, inspired by launch editor Roger Munford and expanded upon by subsequent editors and writers. Influences can be found in titles ranging from Private Eye to Viz. Towards the end of the magazines life, and particularly under the editorship of Jonathan Nash, the style was further influenced by magazines YS had itself inspired, in particular Amiga Power and fanzine The Thing Monthly. The original 1. Your Sinclair team included Kevin Cox editor, Teresa Tzer Maughan deputy editor, Sara Biggs production editor, Pete Shaw editorial assistant, and Phil Snouty South writer. Marcus Berkmann joined as staff writer in early 1. Maughan took over as editor. Freelance writers of the time included John Minson writing under various pseudonyms, including Sue Denham, Gwyn Hughes and Rachael Smith, Mike Gerrard, Max Phillips, Tony Worrall and David Mc. Candless. The final 1. Jonathan Nash editor and Andy Ounsted art editor. Steve Anderson, Rich Pelley, Tim Kemp, Simon Cooke, Dave Golder and Simon Forrester were among those working on a freelance basis. ContenteditYSs content varied widely, occasionally ignoring the subject of computers entirely. As the Spectrum scene diminished and there was less software to review, this happened more frequently. In 1. 99. 2, under the editorship of Andy Hutchinson, several lifestyle type sections were introduced. These included Haylp, an agony aunt column, and The World later retitled Flip, which contained reviews of films and books. This section included The Killer Kolumn From Outer Space, dedicated to science fiction news, rumours and reviews. It was written by Dave Golder, who went on to be the second editor of the successful SFX. Writing in the 1. Golder cited his earlier work on YS and described SFX as like hundreds of Killer Kolumns stapled together. Flip Killer Kolumn was kept on until the penultimate issue in 1. A similar page to FlipThe World had existed in 1. Street Life, but this had also contained Spectrum game charts. PssstFrontlineseditThe news section was originally called Frontlines and dealt with Sinclair news and rumours. It also regularly contained mock celebrity interviews such as the At The Bus Stop With. Subsections of Pssst and Frontlines included Tzers, a column which contained rumours about possible forthcoming releases for the Spectrum and, later on, the SAM Coupe. It was named after and originally written by Teresa Maughan, but the column remained after she left the magazine, as it was felt Tzers was an appropriate title since it contained teasers for future games. Rock Around The Clock, which first appeared in 1. Perhaps one of the odder sections of Pssst was the Peculiar Pets Corner. Editor Matt Bielby originally intended this to be a showcase for YS readers exotic pets such as snakes, pigs, monkeys or spiders, but these pets also included such things as a purple fruit gum and a tuba. When an editor or member of the writing staff left, the magazine would often concoct fanciful stories surrounding their leaving. Matt Bielby was carted off to the funny farm after declaring himself to be God, Andy Ide became a Green Party ambassador, and Andy Hutchinson left to design a skate park at Alton Towers. In actuality, the majority of ex YS staff went on to work for other magazines, such as Amiga Power. The final issue of Your Sinclair, September 1. ReviewseditYour Sinclairs reviewing system varied throughout the magazines life. During the Your Spectrum era, game reviews were confined to the Spectrum Soft section, later called Joystick Jury. Games were reviewed by a panel of reviewers and given a mark out of 1. In practice this was a score out of 9, since no game ever received a perfect 1. After the name change to Joystick Jury, games were judged by each individual reviewer to be either a hit or a miss in the manner of television show Juke Box Jury, after which it was named. The hit and miss system was abandoned with Issue 1. Your Sinclair, the review section was renamed Screen Shots. In Screen Shots, games were still rated out of ten, but they were also given separate ratings for graphics, playability, value for money and addictiveness. They were also now reviewed by individual writers, rather than a panel. In 1. 98. 8, Joystick Jury was superseded by Joystick Jugglers, and the familiar cartoons of reviewers were introduced. Screen Shots was removed as a self contained section in 1. Budget games had their own section, Bargain Basement later replaced with Replay when it was felt that original budget games should be reviewed alongside full price games. The magazine also began using a rating out of 1. However, this was referred to as a degree scale rather than a percentage scale, with a graphic of a thermometer representing the rating the higher the rating, the hotter the game. Reviewer Jon Pillar embraced both extremes of the review scale, giving Count Duckula 2 a mere 9 and Mercenary 9. The final change in review style came in late 1. Back cover of final issue. Our work here is done. Games which were scored at more than 9. YSs coveted Megagame status, though this was undermined slightly when Duncan Mac. Donald gave it to his own deliberately bad Sinclair BASIC creation, Advanced Lawnmower Simulator,7 in a moment of surreal humour. Reader games were also reviewed for a while in the Crap Games Corner, many being inspired by Advanced Lawnmower Simulator or being just as deliberately bad. Good reader games sometimes ended up on the covertape.
