Reception

[edit]

David Stone reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Probe One will appeal most to adventurers who prefer path-finding to solving riddles and puzzles. It is billed as the first in a series of science fiction adventures. It's not a bad start, but like all else in this universe, it could have been done better."[3]
