issn ="ST Format" was a
computer magazine in the UK covering theAtari ST during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Like other members of theFuture Publishing Format stable -PC Format andAmiga Format , for instance, it combined software and hardware reviews with columnists, letters pages and acover disk .The magazine was launched in 1989 [http://www.atari.st/listmagazines.php?magid=1] when its predecessor, the short-lived
ST/Amiga Format was split into two separate publications. Most of the staff went on to work at "ST Format" with "Amiga Format" essentially being a whole new magazine.Latterly, the magazine was kept alive by enthusiastic freelancers such as Frank Charlton and Andy Curtis, as well as dedicated staff writers and editors such as Clive Parker and Nick Peers.
ST Format continued publication until 1996, when production of the Atari ST and Falcon computers was all but over. Fan sites for the magazine still exist on the internet, some featuring archives of features from the magazines.
