In the March 1981 issue of "Dragon", Tony Watson was effusive in his praise of "Starfire" and "Starfire II". "In my opinion, the "Stafire" system is a real winner. The scenarios provided are interesting and moreover, the game has some very real possibilities. The versatility of the ship systems and the options for ship design can allow the players to use "Starfire" as a tactical module for many strategic spacegames or as the basis for player-designed campaign games. Priced at $3.95 each, the games are a real bargain; it would be difficult to find a better gaming investment."
