Reception

Joseph Suchar reviewed Atlantic Balloon Crossing in The Space Gamer No. 37.[2] Suchar commented that "I feel that this game is well worth the money. It provides a challenging multi-player or solitaire game which is difficult to optimize."[2]

gollark: It actually just needed reinstalling.
gollark: Oh no arch is too stable and Firefox is segfaulting รค.
gollark: In general, it packs a lot of somewhat different things into one interface.
gollark: Partly. But it seems like they're using one API in weirdly different ways which don't really make sense together.
gollark: I mean, yes, you could say "well, it's just a name for [some state in the kernel for knowing where packets go]", but it's an, er, excessively overloaded API.
