Reception
In the June 1990 edition of Games International, the reviewer thought the presentation "lacks the slick colour production of FASA's Shadowrun supplements" but admired this product for its "accurately appalling Rolling Stone style interviews, reviews and adverts."[1]
Stephan Wieck reviewed the product in the June–July 1990 issue of White Wolf.[3] His review was generally negative, with a summary that it had "little useful information" while pointing to a few articles as relatively good.[3] He rated it overall at 2 of 5 points.[3]
