Reception
Tom M. Buchanan reviewed Starbase Hyperion in The Space Gamer No. 34.[3] Buchanan commented that "This is an excellent computer simulation game. The full graphics and real-time combat displays make the game visually challenging. If you're looking for a game with challenging play instead of complex rules and you own a Sorcerer computer, this game is a must."[3]
gollark: Palaiologistic!
gollark: That's so 2028.
gollark: Just use a privilege escalation exploit, silly.
gollark: Minoteaur 7.1™ is currently written in Python and JavaScript, which is *incredibly* and *extremely*.
gollark: CAs aren't meant to do that.
