As the Spectrum scene diminished and there was less software to review, this happened more frequently. The tone of the magazine was inspired by teenage magazines such as <a href="/wiki/Smash_Hits" title="Smash Hits">Smash Hits</a> and <a href="/wiki/Just_Seventeen" title="Just Seventeen">Just Seventeen</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-eurogamer_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-eurogamer-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1992, under the editorship of Andy Hutchinson, several 'lifestyle' type sections were introduced. These included <i>Haylp!</i>, an <a href="/wiki/Agony_aunt" class="mw-redirect" title="Agony aunt">agony aunt</a> column, and <i>The World</i> (later retitled <i>Flip!</i>), which contained reviews of films and books. This section included <i>The Killer Kolumn From Outer Space</i>, dedicated to <a href="/wiki/Science_fiction" title="Science fiction">science fiction</a> news, rumours and reviews.

Writing in the 100th issue of that publication, Golder cited his earlier work on <i>YS</i> and described <i>SFX</i> as "like hundreds of Killer Kolumns stapled together".<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Flip! was discontinued, but the Killer Kolumn was kept on until the penultimate issue in 1993. A similar page to Flip!/The World had existed in 1987–88 called <i>Street Life</i>, but this had also contained Spectrum game charts. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pssst/Frontlines"><span id="Pssst.2FFrontlines"></span>Pssst/Frontlines</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Your_Sinclair&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Pssst/Frontlines"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The news section was originally called <i>Frontlines</i> and dealt with Sinclair news and rumours. It also regularly contained mock celebrity interviews (such as the "At The Bus Stop With..." series) and trivial charts, as well as features about the writers themselves. </p><p>Subsections of Pssst and Frontlines included <i>T'zers</i>, a column which contained rumours about possible forthcoming releases for the Spectrum and, later on, the <a href="/wiki/SAM_Coupe" class="mw-redirect" title="SAM Coupe">SAM Coupé</a>. It was named after and originally written by Teresa Maughan, but the column remained after she left the magazine, as it was felt 'T'zers' was an appropriate title since it contained 'teasers' for future games. <i>Rock Around The Clock</i>, which first appeared in 1991, was a small column dedicated to looking at a particular back issue, as well as news and current affairs from the same time. </p><p>Perhaps one of the odder sections of <i>Pssst</i> was the <i>Peculiar Pets Corner</i>.

During the <i>Your Spectrum</i> era, game reviews were confined to the <i>Spectrum Soft</i> section, later called <i>Joystick Jury</i>. Games were reviewed by a panel of reviewers and given a mark out of 10. In practice this was a score out of 9, since no game ever received a perfect 10, on the rationale that a better game could come along at a later date. After the name change to Joystick Jury, games were judged by each individual reviewer to be either a 'hit' or a 'miss' (in the manner of television show <i><a href="/wiki/Juke_Box_Jury" title="Juke Box Jury">Juke Box Jury</a></i>, after which it was named). The hit and miss system was abandoned with Issue 19, and with the transition to <i>Your Sinclair</i>, the review section was renamed <i>Screen Shots</i>. In Screen Shots, games were still rated out of ten, but they were also given separate ratings for graphics, playability, value for money and addictiveness. They were also now reviewed by individual writers, rather than a panel. </p><p>In 1988, Joystick Jury was superseded by Joystick Jugglers, and the familiar cartoons of reviewers were introduced. Screen Shots was removed as a self-contained section in 1989, and reviews began to appear throughout the magazine, generally with the bigger games being reviewed towards the front. Budget games had their own section, <i>Bargain Basement</i> (later replaced with <i>Replay</i> when it was felt that original budget games should be reviewed alongside full price games). The magazine also began using a rating out of 100, rather than ten, when reviewing games. However, this was referred to as a 'degree scale' rather than a percentage scale, with a graphic of a <a href="/wiki/Thermometer" title="Thermometer">thermometer</a> representing the rating; the higher the rating, the "hotter" the game. Reviewer Jon Pillar embraced both extremes of the review scale, giving <i><a href="/wiki/Count_Duckula_2" title="Count Duckula 2">Count Duckula 2</a></i> a mere 9˚ and <i><a href="/wiki/Mercenary_(computer_game)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mercenary (computer game)">Mercenary</a></i> 99˚. The final change in review style came in late 1992 when the various ratings for addictiveness, graphics, and so forth were replaced by a summary of the game's good and bad points, with an overall mark (now as a percentage) below that. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ysfinalbackcover.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Ysfinalbackcover.jpg/220px-Ysfinalbackcover.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="314" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cf/Ysfinalbackcover.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="238" data-file-height="340" /></a><figcaption>Back cover of final issue.<br />"Our work here is done."</figcaption></figure> <p>Games which were scored at more than 90˚/90%, or 9/10 before the degree scale was introduced, were awarded <i>YS</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'s</span> coveted "Megagame" status, though this was undermined slightly when Duncan MacDonald gave it to his own deliberately bad <a href="/wiki/Sinclair_BASIC" title="Sinclair BASIC">Sinclair BASIC</a> creation, <i>Advanced Lawnmower Simulator</i>,<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in a moment of <a href="/wiki/Surreal_humour" title="Surreal humour">surreal humour</a>.

Good reader games sometimes ended up on the <a href="/wiki/Covermount" title="Covermount">covertape</a>. </p><p>YS reviewers were often 'interviewed' in a column at first called <i>Joystick Jury</i> (the same as the reviews section in <i>Your Spectrum</i>), then <i>Joystick Jugglers</i>, and finally (when there were fewer games to review and they wanted to introduce the team as a whole, including design staff) <i>The Shed Crew</i>, a reference to the recurring joke that after the move to Future Publishing, their office was now a <a href="/wiki/Garden_shed" class="mw-redirect" title="Garden shed">garden shed</a>. The Jugglers were depicted with <a href="/wiki/Caricature" title="Caricature">caricatures</a> mostly drawn by Nick Davies, although some writers (such as Jon Pillar/Jonathan Nash) drew their own and art editor Andy Ounsted drew most of the latter reviewers. The Juggler caricatures took on something of a life of their own, and in 1990, a game, <i>YS Capers</i>, was given away with the magazine in which you had to shoot the <i>YS</i> crew, depicted in their cartoon forms. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tipshop">Tipshop</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Your_Sinclair&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Tipshop"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Originally, the tips section of the magazine was called <i>Hack Free Zone</i>, to distinguish it from <i>Hacking Away</i>, which was dedicated to type-in <a href="/wiki/PEEK_and_POKE#POKEs_as_cheats" title="PEEK and POKE">POKEs</a>.

When asked what qualities a star letter possessed, editor Linda Barker answered "A star letter is one that makes the entire Shed crew rock with mirth, or touches their hearts",<sup id="cite_ref-ys85_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ys85-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> although other editors had their own criteria for the type of letter they awarded Star Letter status to. </p><p>Like many later computer magazines (such as <i><a href="/wiki/Zero_(video_game_magazine)" title="Zero (video game magazine)">Zero</a></i> and <i>Amiga Power</i>) <i>Your Sinclair</i> created a sense of community with its readers through the letters page, and many readers wrote in regularly, becoming almost part of the team themselves. Indeed, several letter writers went on to write for <i>YS</i> in a freelance capacity, including Leigh Loveday and Rich Pelley. Along with Jonathan Davies, Pelley had formerly written for the <a href="/wiki/Fanzine" title="Fanzine">fanzine</a> <i>Spectacular</i>, and both became regular contributors for the magazine between 1988 and 1993. After <i>YS</i> closed, Davies went on to become editor of <i>Sega Zone</i>, <i>Amiga Power</i> and <i><a href="/wiki/PC_Gamer" title="PC Gamer">PC Gamer</a></i>, while Pelley regularly wrote articles for a number of magazines. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cover_tape">Cover tape</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Your_Sinclair&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Cover tape"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>By October 1988, the magazine had committed itself to including a <a href="/wiki/Cover_tape" class="mw-redirect" title="Cover tape">cover tape</a> every month.
