Hyper was a multi-platform Australian video game magazine. It was Australia's longest running gaming magazine, published from 1993 to 2019.
In addition to coverage of current major video game systems and game releases (console and handheld), Hyper also covered arcade machines and classic games, as well as anime and DVD movies (once they became popular in Australia in '94 and '99) and also featured interviews with industry professionals and articles on game-related content such as game classifications, computer hardware and video game music.
Hyper also had a sister magazine, the completely PC gaming focused PC PowerPlay.
