What the press said at the time
| Computer Entertainer Vol. 3 No. 9 | December 1984 | Graphics ★★ · Play-Action ★★★ |
“Although the graphics are extremely basic, the game is enjoyable to play because of the trading of roles.”
Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.
