K was an Italian language video gaming magazine published in Italy. The magazine began in December 1988 and focused primarily on coverage of personal computer games, with only sparse coverage of gaming consoles like the Sega Master System. The first 39 issues of the magazine used translated content from the United Kingdom magazine ACE. Even though ACE ceased publication in 1992, K continued for another decade, eventually ending in 2003.
K was created by Studio Vit, a group that started several gaming magazines in Italy under different publishers. Studio Vit launched K after leaving Zzap!. Issue 68 was Studio Vit's departure from K, after which the studio created Zeta magazine. K was published by Glénat, a comics and manga publisher, until issue 64. With issue 65, publishing was taken over by another company, RCS Libri e Grandi Opere.
