Reception

Amiga Power gave the Amiga CD32 version 91%, praising the game's massive size, depth of options, open-ended gameplay, and longevity, summarizing that "You never seem to run out of new things to do and new things to try." Their only complaint with the game was that it requires a mouse to be played properly, since the standard Amiga CD32 controller does not work well with it. They gave the Amiga 1200 port 89%, saying it lacks the sound effects and music of the original but retains the core elements that make it enjoyable.
