Atari ST User
Encyclopedia
Atari ST User was a British
computer
magazine aimed at users of the Atari ST
range. It started life as a pull-out section in Atari User
magazine. From April 1987 onwards it became a magazine in its own right, outliving its parent by a number of years.
It was published by Europress
.
Although ST User did review games and carry demos, far more of the magazine was concerned with 'serious' issues such as hardware, programming, and music than its rivals ST Action
and ST Format
.
Towards the end of its print run, ST User merged with the game-oriented magazine ST Action
, and publication finally ceased in November 1994, leaving ST Format
as the only surviving Atari ST
publication that was still widely available.
