'''''Spectrofon''''' was an electronic magazine for [[ZX Spectrum]] produced in [[Russia]] by the developer group ''STEP Interactive'' from [[Moscow]]. The magazine appeared on a monthly basis, and 23 issues were published in total.<ref name="mag">[http://zxpress.ru/issue.php?id=202 Спектрофон<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The issues were stored on a (usually well-protected) [[Floppy Disk|FDD]] and included both text and program part. There were several "columns" which appeared almost in every issue (solutions, game announcements, cheat codes and memory pokes). Every issue had its own unique custom-written shell, with graphical and music effects. In every issue had as supplement 2-3 (usually not widely known) games or utilities in full versions.

The magazine was the first electronic magazine in [[Russian language|Russian]] and became very popular. There were several attempts to produce similar electronic magazines, like ''[[Adventurer (magazine)|Adventurer]]'', ''[[Deja Vu (magazine)|Deja Vu]]'', ''[[Speccy (magazine)|Speccy]]'', ''[[ZX Format]]'', and ''[[ZX Guide]]'',<ref name="mag" /> but they did not enjoy the same popularity as ''Spectrofon''.
