'''''Sinclair User''''' was a magazine dedicated to the [[Sinclair Research]] range of [[home computer]]s, most specifically the [[ZX Spectrum]] (while also occasionally covering [[arcade game]]s). Initially published by ECC Publications, and later [[EMAP]], it was published in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] between 1982 and 1993, and was the longest running Sinclair-based magazine. The magazine contained news, game reviews, previews, tips, help guides, columns, readers' letters, and cover-mounted [[game demo]]s.
