The One (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The One was a video game magazine in the UK covering 16-bit home gaming during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Published by EMAP, and with a promotional "Issue Zero" in October 1989 before issue 1 in November 1989, it initially covered computer games aimed at the Atari ST, Amiga, and PC markets. In May 1991, with issue 32, it split into two separate magazines: The One for ST Games, which was combined with ST Action in May 1992 due to falling sales, and The One for Amiga Games, which outlived the ST version and was at that point renamed back to The One.
Like many similar magazines, it contained sections of news, game reviews, previews, tips, help guides, columnists, reader's letters, and cover-mounted disks of game demos.
The magazine was criticised for often including "filler" content such as articles on Arnold Schwarzenegger with the justification that an upcoming film had a computer game tie-in. Readers also initially had trouble buying the magazine due to the name The One leading to confusion by newsagents over exactly which magazine they meant.
