Reception
[edit]William A. Barton reviewed Gamma World Referee's Screen and Mini-Module in The Space Gamer No. 51.[1] Barton commented that "the Gamma World Referee's Screen and Mini-Module is a good idea that was too long in coming."[1]
Chris Baylis reviewed Gamemasters Screen for Imagine magazine, and stated that "The Albuquerque Starport is far from being the most exciting Gamma World scenario that you will ever be involved in, but by releasing it as an 'extra' with the GM Screen, TSR are at last showing some respect and attention to a system they seemed to have lost all interest in."[3]
