Reception[edit]

Luther Shaw reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "here's another in the long line of aliens-dropping-from-the-skies-being-destroyed-by-your-weapons games. While many versions of the ADFTSBDBYW type of game are very similar to the coin arcade games that they were based upon, this one has a flavor all it's [sic] own."[2]
