Reception

The game received mixed reviews upon release. Its simple, but high performing graphics were praised while its documentation and features were found lacking. Macworld's Michael Gowan wrote that the game features "the best flight modeling of any Mac flight sim". Although he found the game somewhat inferior to F/A-18 Korea, he summarized that A-10 Cuba! "offers great gameplay, varied missions, and rough-and-tumble network play."
