Reception
Publication | Score |

Computer Play | 6.08/10[4] |
Current Notes | [3] |
Jasper Sylvester reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Reforger '88 is an excellent game using a free-flowing and user-friendly system which is satisfying to play from the initial boot to the last turn of battle. It is the product of an incredible amount of research and even a perusal of the list of weapon systems makes some Pentagon budget considerations seem clearer."[1]
In a 1985 survey of computer wargames for Current Notes, M. Evan Brooks called Reforger '88 a flawed title that "suffer[s] from the same defects as Objective: Kursk", although he considered it "somewhat more successful".[3] In his similar 1989 survey, J. L. Miller of Computer Play called Reforger "somewhat dated" and offered it a middling score.[4]
