Reception

[edit]

Bill Willett reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "I would recommend Controller to those who would like a "thinking" game that doesn't let you dawdle around moving planes like chessmen. The arcade player, however, may be disappointed with the slow (real time) action of the game."[2]
