Reception
Forrest Johnson reviewed Torpedo Fire in The Space Gamer No. 41.[2] Johnson commented that "I cannot help but feel that Strategic Simulations has taken a wrong turn somewhere. I hope they find their way again soon."[2]
Bob Proctor, in a detailed analysis for Computer Gaming World, concluded "Although extremely well conceived, the concepts could have been better implemented. "[3]
gollark: For maximum authenticity, the actual over-the-airwaves one complete with probably a lot of static instead of their uncool internet stream.
gollark: But nothing else. Only BBC Radio 4.
gollark: I was considering adding an AutoBotRobot feature where it streams BBC Radio 4 into voice channels.
gollark: What do you plan to *do* with it?
gollark: Handle it *how*?
