Reception

J. Mishcon reviewed Space Games-3 in The Space Gamer No. 30. Mishcon commented that “The under ten set will enjoy these games, but don’t be surprised if they soon tire and move on.”

The game was reviewed in The Dragon #43 by Mark Herro. Herro commented that “Even though I may not particularly like all of the games in the package, I think Space Games-3 is well worth its modest price tag. If you’re into space games, and you have a TRS-80, at least take a look at this package.”
