Critical reaction

"Star Wreck" was reviewed by "Your Sinclair" in December 1987, [ [http://www.ysrnry.co.uk/articles/starwreck.htm "Star Wreck" review] from Your Sinclair issue 24, December 1987; retrieved from The Your Sinclair Rock 'n' Roll Years] receiving 6 out of 10. Whilst enjoyable, the reviewer felt that the initial area (the Starship Paralysed) was too open, causing difficulties in working out what's going on.
