At one time this wasa great mag. Years ago, readersused to write in to 'The writestuff' and slag of Tony Dillon(Where's he now?). Content wasALWAYS good, features were goodand to be honest the whole magwas good. I loved reading 'Tellit to the Bear' each month.Then,disaster. Graham Taylor left asEditor, soon all originalreviewers left. Bye ChrisJenkins, 1 4 Issue one is still available forthe small amount of 20p, pleaseask for ISSUE1 if ordering. 1 3 Now, Your Sinclair. Sadly thismonth saw the death of thisgreat magazine. Funny, Seriousand brilliant, that was Y.S.Over the years we've seen somegreat issues and some smashingreviewers. Each issue was packedwith colour and features, andnot to mention the brilliantcover tapes. Although in its last few months the mag got abit thin, it was still worth themoney just to have the software.Y.S was the back bone of theSpeccy world for many months andwill be sadly missed by all ofus. Do you remember thoseamusing Photo Lurve storys andthat 'crap games corner'? Allgood clean fun. And what aboutsome of the risky covers andcrude words used when 'Dennis'owned the mag? For example, TheVixen cover. I can rememberseeing that on top shelves inGravesend (SERIOUS!!!). Again,it's a shame to see the lastremaining mag go.... 1 2 1> Please state issue 3. 1 0307$7$5+3 1 0 Tatty - Bye! 1 0 PLEASE NOTE, FROM NEXT ISSUE,SINCLAIR NEWS WILL COST 50p. 1 / Send any Cheats, Pokes, Letters,Comments, Articles to thefollowing address: 1 .

However, ifyou opened the mag, the firstthing you noticed was 32 pages!32 pages? Where had they allgone... The following month,'CRASH' had one of the worstcovers ever. It featured BATMAN,INDY and BOND. To be quitehonest, the quality of the frontpage was 'crap'. Content wise,the magazine was better, now 50pages. In August 1991 themagazine format returned tonormal. The usual size andbetter quality. The coverfeatured a brill picture ofArnie. Content wise, very good.This issue featured that clasicreader cartoon: 'Anyone else fora wet hoddock?'. In the coming months, NEWSFIELD went bust andCRASH, crashed. Shortly, CRASHpopped up again, this timepublished by EUROPRESS IMPACT.CRASH was better than ever. Goodreadable content, loads ofcolour and glossy paper. Sadly,EUROPRESS sold CRASH off toSinclair User. SU basicly killedCRASH off. The following 1 andpresentation was always good andit was always good value formoney. 1 Well, heres a few of the WORSTjokes from it. Groan 1 Speccy Mags. 1 Q. Why is an Orange Orange? 1 Q. What's Red and White? 1 Howerd,Jimbo, Tony! THEN.. GARTHSTUMPER and the new crew. Thewhole magazine went down hill.The artwork, covers, content andgeneral magazine got sloppy.What was a good magazine hadturned into a poor childishpublication. I mean, one monththere was 2 pages dedicated toALIEN BUSTERS. I.E, two massivephotos of Al Dykes and GarthStumper. Why? What a waste ofspace, who in their right mindwould cut them out and wear themas masks? Enough said.
