More than 10,000 copies were sold world-wide. The game became popular in Italy, where about 7,000 of the copies were sold, and was also a minor success in Australia.[2]
Legacy
Space Action made an appearance at an exhibition that the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology held in 2008.[4]
Fernlund did some work on a sequel, Space Action 2, but it was never completed.[5]
