Micromanía is a Spanish computer game magazine. It was founded by the publisher HobbyPress, currently a subsidiary of Axel Springer SE. It was created in May 1985, and is one of the first magazines in Europe exclusively devoted to video games, after MicroHobby, which had been created just a few months earlier by the same publisher. The magazine in its two first periods was a major outlet supporting of the golden era of Spanish software. Micromanía celebrated its 25th year anniversary in 2010. In July 2012, Axel Springer closed the magazine, focussing its video game coverage in its other magazine Hobby Consolas. The magazine team continues the magazine independently, published by BlueOcean Publishing.
