评价与反响

Forrest Johnson reviewed Torpedo Fire in The Space Gamer No. 41. Johnson commented that “I cannot help but feel that Strategic Simulations has taken a wrong turn somewhere. I hope they find their way again soon.” In Video 游戏, Rich Sutton said playability concerns meant that he “only recommended [Torpedo Fire] for the advanced player who desires the most accurate simulation on the market”.

Bob Proctor, in a detailed analysis for Computer Gaming World, concluded “Although extremely well conceived, the concepts could have been better implemented. ”

Legacy

In early 1982, designer Gary Grigsby got his break in the game industry when he called Strategic Simulations’ hotline with a question about Torpedo Fire, which he owned a copy of at the time. Getting into a conversation with company head Joel Billings paved the way for SSI’s release of Grigsby’s title Guadalcanal Campaign.
