Description

The One was a video game magazine in the United Kingdom which covered 16-bit home gaming during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was first published by EMAP in October 1988 and initially covered computer games aimed at the Atari ST, Amiga, and IBM PC compatible markets.

Like many similar magazines, it contained sections of news, game reviews, previews, tips, help guides, columnist writings, readers’ letters, and cover-mounted disks of game demos.

The magazine was sometimes criticised for 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 lead to confusion among newsagents over exactly which magazine they meant.
