Reception
[edit]Tracy Harms reviewed Atlantis - 12500 B.C. in The Space Gamer No. 16.[1] Harms commented that "The ultimate failing of an incomplete rules system is not in the basics of play, but in the nature of intense competition in wargaming."[1]
David Ritchie reviewed Atlantis: 12,500 B.C. in Ares Magazine #1, rating it a 1 out of 9.[2] Ritchie commented that "The rules are so sketchy as to be non-existent and, if it weren't for the fact that this regurgitation of low-grade pulpdom's worst sins is so unintentionally funny, the game would long ago have been confiscated by the Surgeon-General as hazardous to our mental health. By all means, do throw your money away on this."[2]
