Reception

David Long reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Easy to learn and fast to play, GG is a great starter game for "arcaders" who've never tried a "wargame" before. But, much like chess, it will take a long time to really feel like you've mastered this game (I sure haven't!) and the possibilities are endless."^[1]

Chris Smith reviewed SSI's RapidFire Line in The Space Gamer No. 59, and commented that "The game has two very strong points: secret movement and freshness."^[2]
