CRASH was a magazine dedicated to the ZX Spectrum home computer. It was published from 1984 to 1992 by Newsfield Publications Ltd. CRASH was aimed at a younger market than its competitors, and the design and writing style reflected this. Of course, later issues of Your Sinclair and Sinclair User had a similar design style to CRASH, but still contained serious programming articles and such; something CRASH rarely had, focusing on gaming instead.

CRASH (1984-92) was the youngest and shortest-lived of the three main Sinclair magazines.
CRASH had the largest circulation of the three major Sinclair magazines (over 100,000 copies a month at its peak) and was the standard guide for the software distribution trade in deciding which games to stock in the shops.
The magazine was, however, the first to succumb to market forces and bit the dust in the summer of 1992; its rivals lasted another year before they too died.
CRASH was a magazine dedicated to the ZX Spectrum home computer.
CRASH was initially launched in 1983 by Roger Kean, Oliver Frey and Franco Frey as a mail order software catalogue that included several pages of reviews.
Following their liquidation, the magazine was relaunched by Europress in December, continuing until the final issue in April 1992.
